"It's just a dream. It's not real." He hesitated and said, "Was it about what happened in Ylore?" She nodded, before shaking her head. "lI dreamt about Jed. | used to be quite close with him. Though we hadn't contacted one another for a few years, | felt the swhen | saw him again; but in my dream just now, he was the villain." "The villain? What did he do in your dream? "He tried to stop us from being together. In that dream, he was on Ruby's side." Her blood ran cold as she spoke, "That's not Jed.
He would never side with Ruby! He is my friend, and if he-" "Calm down, Avery. Dreams are not real. He was not a bad person; if he was, he wouldn't have been killed." Elliot helped her back to the bed. "What do you feel like eating? I'll go buy it for you." "I said | don't want you to." "lI don't want you to starve." He looked at her sternly. "I have just got in from the outside, and it's really not that cold." "Alright, let's go out together then." Not feeling the urge to go back to sleep, she grabbed her jacket and headed out with him. "| don't have anything specific in mind so let's just grab whatever is available! How did Ben get back?" "I called him a taxi.” The two exited the mansion and stepped into the cold, dark night.
"This isn't cold?" Avery wrapped her arm around his waist and pressed herself against his body.

"They say one would feel full even by just drinking water when in love." "I shouldn't have forgotten to bring you food," he deadpanned.
"I already said that it's okay. You don't have to apologize to me." She grinned and asked, "What did you and Ben talk about?" "He said that he regrets wasting so much ton Chelsea and that he would give up if Lilith keeps stringing him on." He picked out parts of the conversation that he could share with her. "He drank quite a lot but didn't get drunk. | told him to rest at our place but he insisted on going back to Lilith's." "Seems like they are getting along well." "Ben has changed quite a bit," Elliot said. "I can tell that he really wants to settle down." "That's good. It would be better if Lilith likes him, too." "You don't know how she feels?" Avery shook her head. "She hasn't toldabout it. She is so focused on the competition right now. | don’t think she has tto consider anything else." When Ben arrived at Lilith's place, it was eleven at night. The lights in the living room were on He immediately froze, thinking to himself," I'm not young anymore. Why did | have to bother a little girl like her? | could have stayed the night at Avery's mansion, but | insisted on coming back. If | hadn't done that, Lilith wouldn't have waited forin the living room and fallen asleep on the couch." Though there were heaters at hand she would not get cold, she was too tall to fit on the couch and was curled into a ball. If she slept on the couch in that position for the entire night, she would wake up the next morning with back pain.
He strode toward the couch and tried to carry her into her room, but she opened her eyes as soon as he lifted her up.
