Andy was leaning over his work table, checking the groundplan of a building plan. Some changes needed to be made. He had to give this building plan to his mentor. If he didn’t he could fail his internship and that was about the last thing he wanted.
The problem was that he couldn’t stop thinking about Shannen. God, she’d made him so angry. He was so deep in thought he didn’t hear the knocking on the open door.
“Hey, Andy”
Andy looked up and saw the assistant of the manager standing in the doorway.
“What’s up? Big man needs a one on one with me?” Andy asked.
“The cops are here”...

“Dude, stop staring like that” Andy said. “I’m going to start to believe Linc was right about you” Cas frowned. “What do bạn mean?”
“Never mind” Andy said.
“I didn’t know bạn were Shannen’s boyfriend” Cas said.
“Does that matter?” Andy asked.
“Andy’s the reason I got to babysit Alex” Shannen explained. “He introduced me to Zoey”
“Oh, I get it” Cas said. He looked at the clock. “I should go to the hospital. Zoey will begin to wonder where I am”
“Yeah, go ahead” Shannen said. “And tell Zoey not to worry about Lex. We can stay the night here,...

Cas forced Shannen against the tường and kissed her hard on the lips, while Shannen unbuttoned his shirt. Cas put his left hand behind Shannen’s neck while his other hand slipped underneath her dress. She wasn’t wearing a bra. He lay his hand on her breast and massaged her nipple.
Shannen slipped her right hand in his pants and started jerking him off again. Cas removed his hands and removed Shannen’s clothes and took off his shirt. He lifted Shannen off the ground and she threw her legs around his waist. He walked her to the giường and lay her down.
“I think I need something” Cas said....

Twenty phút later Shannen limped into the kitchen. She was now wearing a baby doll that belonged to Daphne.
“You’re bleeding” Cas said. Alexia was in the living room, watching television.
“Yeah” Shannen đã đưa ý kiến and she limped to the table. “Zoey told me bạn can heal people”
Cas nodded. “Yes, that is true”
“Could bạn do it now?” Shannen said.
“Right” Cas said. He carefully touched her leg and healed the cut. He didn’t remove his hand and stared at her smooth skin.
“Emmanuel?” Shannen đã đưa ý kiến careful.
Cas pulled his hand away abruptly. “I’m sorry” he apologized....

Cas and Alexia were sitting at the living table, playing Don’t lose your head and Cas was losing, when the chuông, bell rang.
“I think that’s the babysitter” Cas đã đưa ý kiến and he stood up and walked to the front door. When he opened the door he saw a teenage girl. She was wearing a blue tank hàng đầu, đầu trang and jeans. Her clothes stuck on her body from the rain. She was holding a rugsack over her head to avoid getting any wetter.
“Are bạn going to let me in?” she đã đưa ý kiến shivering. Cas stepped aside and let the girl in, after which he closed the door.
“Are bạn Shannen?” he asked.
“Uhu” Shannen confirmed....

Cas walked out of the room, while the nurses tied Daphne onto the bed. He leaned against the tường and felt his tim, trái tim beating in his chest.
“It’s my fault” he heard Zoey said. She was leaning against the opposite wall. “I told her bạn only stayed with her because bạn feel sorry for her. And now look what she’s done to herself. What kind of sister am I? I know she’s not well and yet I leave her alone?”
Cas walked towards and lay his hand on her arm. “It’s not your fault, Zoey. bạn did the best bạn could”
Zoey shook her head. “I can’t do this anymore. It’s too much”...

Confused and tired of all the lies and secrets Cas came back home. He entered the house and walked into the kitchen, where Zoey was still sitting at the table. Her head lay on Daphne’s book; she had fallen asleep.
Cas tapped Zoey on the shoulder and she jumped up. She saw Cas leaning over her and she sat up. She rubbed her eyes. “I fell asleep” she đã đưa ý kiến difficult. She yawned and stretched her arms. “How was your day? Alex wasn’t a pain in the ass?”
Cas shook his head.
“Is something wrong? bạn act a little strange” Zoey noted. She yawned again. “Well, of course, bạn must be...

Right after Cas had Mất tích his temper Meg had made a phone call to some company that could fix windows hoặc place new ones. And, well, someone had to let the men in, right? And someone had to keep an eye on the house while the owners were gone.
So, after the window was fixed and the men left, Meg had another tour in the house. So far she had only seen Daphne’s bedroom and aside from the book she was nghề viết văn there was really nothing fascinating to find.
She walked up to the fridge, hoping to find some booze, but when she opened it and let her eyes go over its content all she could see, regarding...

Cas looked at Daphne who tried to get up. He wanted to go to her, but it seemed his legs didn’t want to move.
“Are bạn alright?” he informed worried.
Daphne groaned and panted. “What do bạn think, moron?” she snapped.
Cas forced himself to di chuyển and walked fast to Daphne. He ducked and wanted to heal his wife, but she pushed his hand away.
“Don’t touch me!” she shouted.
“I’m just trying to help” Cas đã đưa ý kiến soft.
“You’re going to get me killed someday” Daphne replied angry.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you” Cas đã đưa ý kiến apologizing.
“No, bạn just accidentally grabbed my...

Cas was angrier than he had ever felt. He threw the phòng bếp, nhà bếp bàn in the corner. He walked to the dresser and threw everything off of it. The blender, the frying pan, the coffee-machine, plates, glasses, it all landed on the floor and shattered into pieces.
“Emmanuel, stop!” Daphne shouted. She looked upset at the wreckage Cas was causing. “What do bạn think you’re doing?”
Cas walked toward the cabinet in the living room and collected the figurines on it. He turned at Daphne and Mitch and fired the figurines at them. They ducked just in time.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”...

As soon as Meg opened the door Cas came rushing in. Meg’s eyes widened and she shut the door. “Hello to you, too” she mumbled and she walked into the living room, where Cas was sitting on the couch. He was staring in front of him. Meg walked towards him and sat down.
“What are bạn doing here?”
Cas didn’t answer. He was trying to keep his breathing under control.
“What happened?” Meg asked. “Is Daphne still angry about me being there? I can go there and tell her what happened”
Cas still didn’t answer.
“I made her unhappy” he eventually said.
“How do bạn mean?” Meg...

Daphne opened the wardrobe and picked out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She gave it to Cas. “We already know bạn have the same size as my brother, so why not wear his clothes”
“Shouldn’t I have my own clothes?” Cas asked careful.
“We’re not going to spend money if it’s not really necessary” Daphne đã đưa ý kiến reproachful. “Besides, you’re really not in a position to make demands”
Cas looked down, ashamed of his behavior. Then he looked up again. “You’re right. I’m sorry” he đã đưa ý kiến and he put on the clothes.
Daphne’s phone rang and as she picked up she said: “Make the...

Shh” Cas lay his finger on his lips. “I hear something”
“Emmanuel? I’m back! Where are you?” Daphne called from downstairs.
Cas looked concerned at Meg. “You have to go” he insisted. “But can bạn change first? I don’t think it’s wise to let Daphne know I gave bạn her dress”
“Yeah, alright” Meg agreed. She walked out of the bathroom and entered the bedroom. She took of the dress and put on her underwear when the door opened.
“Manny, it’s very impolite not to knock” she đã đưa ý kiến teasing and she turned around.
Daphne was standing in the doorway, looking furious.
“Oh”...

The lâu đài Café
Daphne was sitting at the bar drinking coffee, while Mitch was getting dressed.
“Last night was amazing” Daphne said.
“I agree. We should do this thêm often” Mitch joked.
“I would hope so” Daphne said, who wasn’t joking at all.
Mitch frowned. “I thought bạn were married”
“Yeah, with a virgin” Daphne đã đưa ý kiến disgusted. “If I would’ve known…”
“You would’ve dumped him?” Mitch asked.
“No, of course not” Daphne sighed. “Look, I tình yêu him. I really do. But I can’t deflower him. I won’t sleep with virgins. It’s a principle. And in the meantime...

For a một phút Cas’ feet seemed to be stuck on the ground, but as he saw Daphne running away, along with the opportunity of a lifetime with her, he forced himself to move.
However as he tried to reach her, he felt a firm grip on his upper arm and the tiếp theo moment he and Meg were standing tiếp theo to the swimming pool.
“What in God’s name do bạn think you’re doing?” Cas asked furious.
“I am saving bạn from the biggest mistake in your life” Meg said. “You don’t want to marry that girl”
“Because I want to marry you? Is that what you’re trying to say?” Cas asked still angry.
“No!...

Zoey parked her car on the Butterfield Park parking and got out of her car. She walked around her car and opened Alexia’s door.
“Why don’t bạn go play on the field while I talk to aunty Daphne?” Zoey suggested.
“No, I want to come” Alexia pouted. “I want to ask her myself”
“Okay” Zoey said, raising her hands. “As bạn wish”
She took Alexia’s hand and walked to the restroom. She knocked. “Daphne, bạn here?”
“Go away” Daphne said.
Zoey opened the door and walked in.
“I know bạn got an invitation, but I would think you’d understand I don’t want bạn here today”...

Cas opened the door of The lâu đài Café and entered the seemingly empty establishment. “Hello?” he called, but no one responded.
Maybe he was too late. But Andy had called him only five phút ago. Surely they would hiển thị thêm patience than that.
“They’re not coming”
Cas turned around and saw Meg standing at a bàn in the left corner.
“You must be mistaken. Daphne’s cousin has summoned me here” he said. Meg shook her head. “No, Emmanuel, they played a prank on you” she said, while she slowly walked his way.
“Why would they do that?” Cas asked, sounding hurt.
“Maybe...

Andy and his Những người bạn were sitting in a bar. There was no one but them. Andy was holding his phone in his hands and looked from lincoln to Justin. “You guys really want to do this?”
Lincoln waved with his taped hand and shot Andy an angry look.
“I’ll take that as a yes” Andy đã đưa ý kiến and he dialed a number.
At Daphne’s house the phone started ringing. Cas, who was still awake, lifted his head. He had heard this sound before and he had seen how Daphne hoặc Zoey had responded to it. There was absolutely nothing to it. And so he walked toward the ringing object and picked up the horn.
“Hello?”...

Daphne rushed into the living room and looked for her sister. Once she found her she headed to her and before Zoey could even blink Daphne had lifted her hand and slapped her. Someone gasped, but it wasn’t Zoey.
“Daphne, what is going on?” Mrs. Allen demanded to know. Daphne rotated her head to her mother. “Why don’t bạn ask this slut?” she said. Another gasp. “Daphne, this is no way to talk in front of guests” Mrs. Allen reproached.
“What’s the matter, mom?” Daphne asked scornful. “Afraid I will spike your little balloon and everyone will see who sweet Zoey really is?...

One week later.

Cas, Daphne and Zoey were sitting in the phòng bếp, nhà bếp having breakfast. Cas still hadn’t learn how to use a fork and a dao, con dao and so again he was eating with his fingers. Zoey sighed irritated and pulled Cas’ plate to her. She grabbed her own fork and dao, con dao and cut his egg into pieces. She then aggressively shoved his plate back.
“See how it’s done?” she asked disdainful. Cas looked down at his plate.
“Can’t bạn try and be nice?” Daphne said. Zoey looked at Daphne. “What? The guy’s a total idiot. It’s annoying”
Daphne rotated her head to Cas and smiled. “How’s...
