Baron took my hand as I jumped off the carriage. Our date was quite pleasant. I patted my filled stomach. The food was so good despite the lack of seasoning! Or maybe I've just been used to salt water taffy and biscuits for too long.
I hooked my hand in Baron's arm as he smiled. I turned to see the Marquis waiting for us in front of his residence. His usual "genuine" smile adorned his face. I smiled back. Two can play at that game mother fucker. I ran up to the Marquis and held his hands.
"Mr. Marquis! I would like to thank you again for the 30 doubloons you gave me! Baron and I were able to enjoy the date thanks to your generosity!"
The Marquis bit his lip until it bled as he cringed. I almost wanted to shoot myself from how fake I sounded as well. The Marquis smiled and answered in a soft voice.
"I'm glad that I could help my dear child. Just don't abandon your Mr. Marquis here by getting too attached to Baron."
