Violet let her hands fall back to her sides, taking his actions to mean a polite dismisal. She looked upset for a moment then manage a false, soft smile again.
"Alright, would you check the frisge again for me please? I swear i saw some salad in there," she replied, turning to the sink to wash her hands quickly before starting to make the food again. Her heart sank a little as she realised Richard didn't care for her in the way she cared for him.

Richard did as she asked, feeling a bit heart-broken. "Look..I...." he started mumbling with his head in the fridge. "...let's just give this a few days to sink in, ok? I'm all confused right now, and..." Richard returned from the fridge empty-handed; clearly there was no salad in the fridge. "...and I want you to tell me what you wanted to say earlier. What you had a problem with saying...."
I already know....I just want to hear you say it...
"Why you're acting this way...telling me these things that...I would never expect you to tell me. I want you to tell me why, because I need some clarity right now..."
It was half-lie, but sounded somewhat reasonable...

Violet didn't turn around to look at him, just turned off the tap and began to dry her hands.
"I...I can't Richard," she replied finally, still not daring to look him in the eye.Shaking her head sadly she muttered,
"You just admitted your confused, i don't want to be the one to make it worse," It had taken her a lot to get the courage together to even admit she had something to tell him, she wanted him to know how she felt, but couldn't think of the right way to say it without pushing him away. Swallowing she added,
"Believe me Richard, if i could tell you i would but..." she trailed off, unsure how to finish.

"But what? You're afraid of taking chances? That's what life's about, Violet. Not know what's going to happen in the future." Richard stepped closer to her and took her hands in his. "I may be confused, but not about everything. I want you to tell me..."

Violet looked up at him , her grey eyes wide and staring. She'd always tried to stay away fromt aking chances, not wanting to risk anything. That had led to a breakdown, but this could lead to something much worse. She looked away a moment before whispering something in audible. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath then said again a little louder, though it was still barely more then a whisper.
"I...I love you Richard," As soon as she'd spoken her face flushed a deep red, though she didn't move an inch otherwise.

Richard's small smile spread into a slightly wider grin as he placed her hands around his neck. "So let's try this again. I'll be alright as long as you're around too. I've just been....." His eyes fell to his shoes for a second before gazing back into her eyes. "I was afraid I would never hear those words from you...more afraid than you could ever imagine..." With that, he leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.

Violet was too stunned to say anything at first, merely kiss him back softly, her heart fluttering madly. When they pulled apart she was still pretty speechless, managing a soft,
"You mean you..." she blinked a few times as if to check she wasn't dreaming before hugging him tightly, having to raise onto her tiptoes to reach. she only pulled back a little, just enough to be able to kiss him again, her fingers twirling his soft hair.

"For a long-" but Richard never finished what he was saying when she kissed him, and let himself surrender to what they both wanted. Tingles ran down his spine when she twisted at his hair, causing goosebumps to rise on his skin.

John Rosenberry was a big shot lawyer of the coast. He pulled up to the small cafe in his BMW. He slowly got out. His flawless pinstirpe suit and dress shoes shining in the sun. He took out a briefcase from under his seat, closed the door, locked his car, and walked up to the cafe. He knocked on the door, to get the occupants' attention.

Rosalee quickly wiped her face, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of any customers, and made her way to the door. Seeing the man standing there with the briefcase both scared her but piqued her interest. It was something official he was here for...
Opening the door, she greeted him with a smile, her eyes obviously a bit red from all the crying. "Can I help you?"

John nodded. "I'm John Rosenberry. Dominic's lawyer. I just got back from the police station." He lifted his briefcase. "In here I have Dominic's last will and testament and a video tape shot just before he killed himself. I think he'd want you guys to see it." He frowned. "I know this is a hard time for you guys, but can I come in?" He asked. He didn't want to cause anymore pain to them.

Rosalee glanced nervously back at Jesper, then turned back to the lawyer. "I...guess it's ok if you come in. Can I get you...coffee or anything...?" It felt weird to be saying such a thing, but she could at least be courteous.

John walked in slowly, taking in the environment of the cafe. "No I'm fine." He told Rosalee. He put his briefcase in a nearby table. "Is it alright if you can get everyone to gather here at this table?" He asked. "Oh, and do you have a VCR and TV here?"

"Well..." Rosalee gestured for him to sit down before turning to Jesper. "I'm not sure if we do...or where it is," she replied with a nervous smile. "Jesper here is the owner, so I'm sure he could help ye better than I could."

Hearing the door and Rosealee's voice Violet pulled away, ending the kiss. Smiling a little she rested her head against his shoulder, removing a hand from his hair, only to hold his hand.
"We should go see what's happening," she muttered softly, though she made no move to go.
