Jasper and I go in and directs me to his table again.
"I won't have much time to talk with them Jasper. I'd rather sit at my usual table." I say and he frowns. I quickly walk away before he can say anything else. When I sit down a server puts a bowl down in front of me.
"For you Cerine." he says and I smile.
"Thank you so much." The man smiles and then goes back to the kitchen.
"You really do get the special treatment." Maria says and I shrug. I finish eating and Jasper is by my side again.
"I'll walk you to the parlor." he says reaching for my arm but I move aside out of reach.
"I'm fine there's no need for you to come with me. Sit and finish eating." I say then walk away. He follows behind me anyway.
"I'm trying to court you." he says when we get out of the diningroom and I pause.
"I don't want to be courted. I'm not interested." I say and he pauses in surprise. I walk faster and he comes out of his daze to follow me. I don't say any more and just go into the parlor where he's been waiting for me.
"Hi Cerine. It's been a little while." he says and I smile.
"Hi Danny."
