"Benjamin, you're back" the sight of him surprised her and a warm feeling flew through her entire body, remembering their time a few nights before. She walked over to him, expecting a warm embrace.
But instead of returning the embrace, Benjamin stepped back, his face hardening. He was standing straight, tall and rigid. Dark eyes looked down at her making Iris' heart beat like crazy but for not the same reasons she expected. His lips were pursed so thin she could barely see them.
"What the heck did you do? I was away only for a few days and you went whooping it up at the festival for everyone to see? Everyone talked about how easy and eager the new lady of Buri was that even I heard of it. Did you not think at all?"
Understanding that he was talking about the festival, she easen up a little, but his words and tone didn't make it easy at all.
"Benjamin, we were only having. Please, don't be angry."
