Stranded - The Manor of Mystery

"Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Hawke was shouting with happiness.
"Auntie Cynthia told me everything. You two will come back and be my best parents, and we go swimming in the ocean and on the big slides!"

Durc was there but absent looking.

Hawke kept talking some cute stuff and was pushing two of them playfully.
 
Alex listened indulgently, and laughed. "Well that's all good," she said, imagining everything and happy for now. Yesterday and earlier was still preying on her mind. She saw Cynthia in the distance. "Sweetie, I see Aunt Cynthia. Do you want to go help her?" She asked softly, playfully.
 
Hawke ran over to Cynthia and two of them were left sitting on the bench.

Durc was feeling the same way he felt first time seeing her at the Mansion. He was so filled with guilt he was just sitting there with an empty stare.
 
Alex noticed this and gently kissed his cheek. "What's wrong?" She asked softly, having him look at her. Recognizing the look in his eyes, her eyes filled with tears. "Honey, don't do this to us, I thought we were over that," she said quietly.
 
He snapped out of this state and looked at her.
"Sorry. I've pushed it too far. I never wanted to make you feel uncomfortable, you have to know that."
He kissed her lips and chick just lightly.
"This will never happen again." He hugged her tightly.
 
She hugged him back. "I know, baby," she said, kissing his cheek again. "We'll discuss it later, okay?" She added, knowing there was more to it than that, but also knew that now was not the time or place. "How about we join them andeat?" She ssaid, smiling.
 
The two of them held it together and went to join Cynthia and Hawke.
All in all it was a nice day and soon they were home, with two of them packing for a hotel.

"This will fit you nice, this one Durcet wore to the prom." Cynthia was handing her a short black dress, really elegant but was little tight.
 
"Thanks, Cynthia," She said warmly, packing the dress and smiling. She had managed to make it through the day, but she was getting close to loosing it.
 
By the end of the day they were at the hotel getting in their room and making their selves comfortable.
 
He came closer to her and whispered in her ear "Is there anything you'd like to do."

Hawke was not here, and two of them were alone, but he was still insecure about taking further steps. So he just laid there close to her.
 
He laid there, looking at her. He was still fascinated by her beauty. Just looking her and he was happy. Thinking back to the times at the clinic he stared at her for hours, imagining their life together.
