Eadlyn's POV
With my mom in the hospital, my dad going crazy with worry, and my brother in France, I made a promise to them, and to myself. I will come out of this Selection not only alive, but with a ring on my finger.
But first, I need a plan. So, I think that I will try to have a date every other day, if not every day. Let's get started.
I walk to the Men's Parlor, only to find who I was looking for leaving.
" Henri!" I shout, waving at him.
" Eadlyn, h-hello. You are good?"
" Yes, Henri, I am good. I was wondering if we could cook together today?" I ask, while pantomiming mixing batter. After a few seconds, he seems to understand what I mean. Thankfully, Erik didn't need to step in this time to help. Maybe Henri and I can break the wall of communication after all.
A few hours later, I find myself down in the kitchens, laughing my head off, and completely covered in flour, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and a bunch of other stuff I don't know. This has been the best date I have been on yet. And, the best part is that it wasn't awkward. I guess Ahren was right. Henri and I got along great, and Erik never had to interpret what we were saying.
As we finished eating the amazing banana bread we had made, I took off my apron, and started saying goodnight, when Henri asked " I walk with you?"
" Of course, Henri, you can always walk with me," I say. Then, I make sure that Erik is okay with this.
" He'll be fine, he knows his way around pretty well," Erik tells me.
And with that, Henri and I are off, arms linked, back upstairs, towards my room.
