Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. It was a victory for France. Francis become a hero. Like an old flame, the glory of Calais returned to the people who missed it. It also returned the madness within a King who never felt relieved by his soldiers' sacrifice. And its madness would consume his own son. Francis did not know, sooner, his heart would be hurt enough because of his own fault.

Addy was waiting for him after the dinner at the exit door. She didn't get any chance yet to talk to him. He was nowhere in the dining hall. The last time Addy saw he was busily talking to the crews and some of the casts including the stunt actors since he stepped down ftom the mini stage. Like a pop star, almost everyone kept asking about his talent in playing guitar. He casually answered all questions without hesitation. He looked very proud of his achievements that night.

Earlier, Toby and her, including Megan and Torr had a candid photo take at the dinner photobooth. They were so cheerful and enjoyed themselves. These guys made all kinds of funny faces which made Addy and Megan couldn't stopped laughing. And some of them seemed ruined their photo. But Addy did not mind, she enjoyed it. She loved the way Toby rested his chin on her shoulder. She guessed that was her perfect moment with him.

So many things kept running in her mind, she wished she would not forgotten. So many things she wanted to clarify with him. Five minutes felt longer than she thought. She became impatient. She just want to be frank with him. She would not hide her feelings anymore.

"There you are!"  Addy shouted to him after he walked out from the crowd. He looked beaming with wide grin. Someone just made him stopped and congratulate him. He received the compliments and smiled. Then he was walking in quicker pace towards Addy.

"Tired of waiting for me?" Toby said teasingly.

"Yeah, of course. Do you realize that I'm getting bored?"Addy gave her annoyed face to him that made him alarmed, but then said, "Toby, I'm just kidding! Cheer up!"

Toby felt relieved and smiled thinly. He looked a bit blushed under the dim light at the corner or probably he had too much drink.

"Where's Megan and Torr?" Toby looked around the hall. The crowd was still thick. Some people still wanted to hang around even though it was getting late. Tomorrow they have to continue as usual in the beginning of new weeks. They have two more episodes before warped up the first season.

"Oh, they don't want to wait for you. They probably already arrived at the parking lot," Addy said.

"Shall we go now, or you want to be here longer?" Toby asked as they walked along the corridor. Suddenly Addy stopped her pace, faced him with a smile and looked into Toby's blue ocean eyes under the dim light in the corridor. Toby was a little bit puzzled.

"Toby, there is something... I want to-" Both of them were interrupted by the loud ring tone of Toby's phone.

"Excuse me," Toby said immediately, and quickly answered the phone in front of Addy. Addy was cursing herself. She was almost said it. There was always something interrupting them.

"Hey! How are you Tobes?" A familiar male voice on his phone. Toby was trying to recall and immediately he said, "Sean! I'm good. How are you? Why suddenly you call me?"
