บท 54: Question

"What is it, Sylvia?"

I felt a blush creep up my cheeks, I knew Danette would have the answer, she had been married longer than I.

I nervously peek at the others, Mother engage in talks with the ambassadors, Lawrence and James were the ones who talked most, Dalton just joined in a bit, Cedric was the usual calm and quiet self, was he really the same person who touched me in the flower house, maybe he ready had different personalities then because he was odd.

"Sylvia," Danette urged, awaiting my question.

"Oh sorry... I wanted to make sure no one would hear"

"Is it something serious?" she asked with worried looks.

"No... no, it's not... it's just" I took a deep breath.

"...Personal"

She nods urging me to go on.

"It's very personal Danette"

"Spill it out Sylvia," she said with a giggle.

"Is there... something between couples other than lovemaking?"

Her looks grew puzzled.
