Late Saturday morning, Lexi sat at her kitchen table with a mug of coffee in her hand, after her shower, trying to decide whether to call Aaron or not. Wondering if she should cancel the hair appointment she had made to get her hair straightened for the night. She wasn’t sure if she still wanted to go to the ball, and she had no idea if Aaron even wanted her there after she gave him the smack down, the previous day.

She wasn’t really mad at Aaron because she knew what happened the day before was mainly her fault. Her indecision clouded her judgment, and she let her mind and body speak for her when her heart was king. It didn’t matter what the other two wanted, her heart ruled over her. And in the end, her heart had decided. It chose Sloan, whether he wanted her or not. So until her heart decided it was time to let him go, she continued to hold out some modicum of hope that things would work out.

A gentle knock at her door pulled her from her sad reverie. She walked to the door and peeked out the side window. Aaron was on the other side, with his arms full. Lexi straightened up and took a deep calming breath before opening the door. When she opened the door and he lowered the box in his arms so that she could see his face, Lexi burst out into hysterical laughter.

Aaron had a neck brace wrapped around his neck, as a joke. He chuckled deeply as he watched Lexi double over, holding her stomach.

“Go ahead. Laugh it up. But that shit, really did hurt.” Aaron laughed, reluctantly.

“I’m so sorry, Aaron. I guess I freaked out a little.” Lexi reigned in her giggles and looked up at him, contrite.

“Don’t apologize. You told me to stop, and I didn’t. I should’ve had more control. But I kinda get carried away, when it comes to you.” Aaron said bashfully.

“Then I guess I should be flattered.” Lexi flushed, and then gestured into the house. “Come in. Your hands are pretty full there.”

“Yeah. I brought you a gift. Oh, and I also brought your easel and paint supplies you left yesterday. I just need to get them out of my car.” Aaron said, as he placed the large flat box on her couch and walked back out the door.

“You didn’t have to get me a gift, Aaron. I was just as much to blame for what happened yesterday. I gave you mixed signals.” Lexi told him, as he walked back in with her easel.

“I was actually going to give this to you yesterday. But you ran out like a crazy person before I could.” Aaron teased her.

“Oh. So…what it is?” Lexi asked, curiously.

“Open it and find out,” Aaron suggested.

Lexi nervously pulled the ribbon of the big bow and pulled the top off of the box. Folding back the thin gift paper, she saw a beautiful metal mask. It was silver, and one-half of the mask was made into an intricate butterfly wing, with some jewel details.
