James, after a moment's hesitation, entered the room with Becca. He coughed a little to tell her he was there, "Um, how are you?"

She looked at her m briefly before looking at the ground" fine" she said laying her arms over her lap so her elbows were resting on her knees

James nodded as he took a step twoardsher, "Um good. Good."

" you don't have to stay you can leave" she said looking up at him

"Oh, and what if I want to stay?" James asked her trying not to seem very coy.

She sighed " I'm fine you don't have to worry about me messing anything up" she said

"If I was worried about you messing something up, I wouldn't have let you roam my castle these last few weeks," James told her.

" Look I appreciate the hospitality but I'm.a girl who has dreams and now I know I can't have them I have a bit of attitude" she said

"I'm well aware of that," James replied eyeing her.

She nodded closing her eyes with a sigh as she ran her hands through her pitch black hair

James watched her as he let out a sigh, "But why did you bring it up again?"

"because I'm upset and I'm scared and I've got no friends to talk to and I love talking to Quincy and I miss having a family" she said mumbling the last part

"You enjoy talking to Quincy?" James said very clearly having heard the last bit though ignoring it.

" she's the only person to talk to we talk about everything" She said

"I, yes I see," James responded with a little nod. He wouldn't tell how Quincy would then tell James what they talked about.

She sighed lowering her head " I'm just all alone I don't have anyone not anymore " she sighed wiping her tears

"Well, you have Quincy don't you?" James didn't bother putting himself into that equation.

" she's only there because she has to be" she said

"I can't make Quincy do anything," James told Becca, "If she's there it's because she wants to be there."

" I thought maybe this wouldn't be so bad I thought I could warm up to this place but it isn't home and just because I'm marrying you doesn't mean you have to care I'll marry you regardless not like I have a choice anyway"

"You have a choice," James told her, "If this place doesn't feel like home yet what does for you? The home of your abuser?"

" don't call him that he's my brother" she almost growled

"He abused you as well," James responded coldly. His next words came so fluidly that one might wonder how many times he had said them before, "Just because he's your family doesn't change what he did to you."

" I don't appreciate you calling him that" she said

"Well, unless you can prove to me he's more than that, I will keep calling him that," James told her.
