Mr. Stanley: Hope you enjoyed your weekend as you always do.
Mom: Mr. Stanley asked in a tease.
James: Of course we did. Why wouldn't we?
Mom: James replied with the same level of tease, and the class was in an uproar.
Mr. Stanley: Alright, alright, settle down, everyone. On to the topic of the day.
Mom: I looked around and realized Collin wasn't in class. It was strange since he had never missed a class since he came and was almost always punctual. I wanted to confront him about what happened two days before.
I never heard from him after he left that evening, and the thought of the person bowing kept lodging in my head. I tried calling him, but the call never rang. It was always cut off. I couldn't get everything that happened off my mind. From the mansion, the porcelain doll, and the tent to that beautiful moonlit sky and the stranger I couldn't see on the road. It was frustrating. I really needed to speak to Collin.
Then out of nowhere my eyes met with someone.
Rose: Eugene?
Mom: I had actually forgotten about him.
His expression was unreadable, but one thing was for sure, he had never stared at me with such an expression before. Before I could react, he averted contact.
Tracy: What was that for?
Mom: Tracy asked. It seems she noticed.
Rose: I...I don't know. I stated truthfully.

Collin: I thought I told you I had everything under control, Logan. Why was Didi sent after me?
Logan: It was your father's orders, Collin. He has his eyes on you.
Collin: I find that hard to believe. He wants nothing to do with me even Lucia confirmed it.
Logan: He makes it seem that way Collin. He's watching your move. And about Lucia. I believe she's up to no good.
Collin: How did Lucia find out where I was?
Logan: What do you mean?
Collin: She appeared at the mansion where I was with Rose. I just realized there was no way she should have known of my whereabouts.
Logan: I don't think you were really discreet about that, Collin. Even the guards knew where you were, and I am not joking. You are making every move of yours pretty obvious.
We all know you are going after that girl because of Eugene. What we don't know is why.
Collin: The why is none of your business. What you need to focus on is how to control Didi. Because next time I am coming back with her head, and I am not joking.
Collin walked off angrily, clearly pissed off by everything. His plan is being interfered with, and that is not something he is just going to sit by and watch.
Logan: You'd be th death of yourself.
Logan said in a whisper.

Tracy: Err... what's his issue?
Rose: Hmm? Who?
Tracy: Him.
Mom: It was Eugene
