Dalila felt tears well up in her eyes as the faces of those around her became dissatisfied and Emalyn stormed out. She didn’t fully get why Emalyn got angry, maybe she just had a short temper or maybe it was the nerves they had all been suffering from. Anyway, she felt bad. The woman felt as if it was her fault an argument broke out. She hoped for her suggestion to cause peace rather than havoc. She tried to suppress the water trickling down her face as to not upset anyone further.

“If you excuse me, I’ll also return to my room,” she said her voice wary and headed upstairs.

Alec watched the scene unfold before him with wide eyes. He was slowly getting used to this but seeing Emalyn so distressed made him feal a pang in his heart. As he was about to follow her, Dalila also got up. He could see, she was also obviously saddened. As much as he wanted to go after both of them he continued sitting for a while longer. He looked at Martin he didn’t seem to go after Emalyn but Alec wondered if his reaction to Dalila would be different, he was leaving her with him afterall. He pushed his chair back and stood up.

“I’m going to check up on Emalyn.”
