The rest of the week flies by without incident. I spend a lot of time with Leviathan, getting to know him better. He is always very gentle and sweet with me, like he is afraid if he hugs me too hard or talks too loud, I will break into a million little pieces. I can’t help but feel like I’m falling for him already and the thought scares me.

No one has mentioned the topic of me going home since that night at dinner. Levi has actively avoided the subject and I don’t want to ruin our time together by bringing it up, but I don’t think I have much of a choice anymore. I’m not convinced that keeping away from my aunt is the best thing to do. I think she knows something, and the more I dwell on it the more I feel like I should confront her.

I have a feeling Leviathan has been trying to keep me distracted from my thoughts this week. On Monday, we went out for ice cream after I brought up that I was craving it. He said it was our first date. When he asked me to go with him, I swear he blushed and it was adorable. Tuesday, he dragged me out of the house to a park. We had a picnic lunch, which was very sweet and getting fresh air helped me clear my head. On Wednesday, Levi took me to a movie. I haven’t been to see a movie in over a year. Leviathan said he hadn’t been in about twenty years. Oddly enough that didn’t upset me the way I thought it would. Leviathan took me to a farmer’s market on Thursday. I may have gone a bit crazy getting a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies. They just had so many good things there. Fresh fish, pasta, homemade jams, and more produce than I know what to do with. Lucky for us, Levi thought ahead and brought three large ice chests to keep it all cool on the trip back. He refused to let me pay for anything, insisting I only eat a third of what the rest of them eat and I shouldn’t pay for their big appetites.

Thank goodness Leviathan decided we would just hang out around the house today. After four days of running around, I need a day of rest. There have also been a few incidences with some of the Ashford clan showing up at the gate at random times. Every time the guards call, the family does a perimeter check while I bake everything I can get my hands on.

Today is different, though. Levi has been acting strange today. I think there’s something he wants to talk to me about, but he keeps stalling. I hope it isn’t that he wants to ask me to go home. I’m not sure how I’ll feel if he wants to get rid of me.

Finally, the silence and constant side glances get to be too much. Turning toward Levi on the couch, I wait until he’s focusing on me and address the situation.
