Anna took Lucien to the balcony and spoke to him for a long time, but Lucien was not ready for the conversation.
He kept telling his twin sister that he needed time to process everything. They had to postpone the talk until the next day at least. He needed time to think.
Needless to say, Annalynne was utterly dejected.
The following dinner was more solemn than a funeral.
Lucien refused to say anything beyond hums, occasional "Yes"ses and "No"s. Annalynne was busy bribing her brother with food, which Lucien eventually left uneaten once he was full.
The suite was full with cakes and candies and fruits that eventually landed in the refrigerator.
When Lucien refused to share the bed with her that night, Ronan was overjoyed but Annalynne burst into tears immediately.
"Lulu, you promised," she begged while hugging her brother from behind. "Don't be like this, please. You can't be mad at me. I know I was wrong."
Lucien sighed.
