*Aphrodite thought for a moment and then scowled.*
"I have to leave" *She said, rolling her eyes, standing up, and snapping her fingers so that her Greek robes were on.* "We have a meeting on the state of the world today at olympus and I'm required to be there."

*Rochester sighed and nodded. He touched her cheek gently.*
"Ah then...I should have know that a woman like you would be in such high demand. I would never dream of trying to keep you all to myself. But you are always welcome here. I would love to see you again."
*He kissed her hand tenderly.*
"If you'll have me."

*She grinned.*
"I'd be happy to oblige."
*She snapped her fingers and a seashell on a cord appeared in her hand. She demonstrated some sort of circling motion on the inner side and handed it to him.*
"Press the inside of the shell, and trust me, I'll know to show up sometime soon."
*She kissed his cheek and dissapeared, as suddenly as she had appeared in the restaurant.*

Huh.
*Rochester just sat confused for a moment. He was really never going to get used to that. He touched the necklace tenderly, as if trying to understand something that was just beyond him. For the time being, he slipped it over his head, the shell resting over his heart. He stood carefully, still a bit shaky and made his way upstairs for a bath and some much needed rest.*
I'm starting to think that I may never understand the female creature.
*He grinned to himself.*
But I'll never stop trying.

**NEW DAY**
*Shadi, her face streaked with the tracks of dried tears, knocked forcefully on Rochester's door.*

*Rochester answered the door in a state of semi-dress with a casual air.*
"Oh, Shadi...I'm so glad that I inspired a visit again so soon. Won't you come in?"

*Shadi looked up at him and nodded. The guilt... she had to tell him. Even if he didn't care anymore.
But she knew he did. He had to. The other day... that had to be the mistake.*
"I had to come," *she said.*

"All right, all right...come inside. Here...let me take your coat."
*He did so, admiring her body as he did.*
"Perhaps we could discuss it...upstairs."

((Dude... BB code gets me every time. Why don't these things use html?))
*She nodded again.*
"If you want."
*There! Things would be better; she'd tell him, he'd confess he'd been mistaken or a cad or sick or anything, just so it was right again between them. She followed him up.*

*Rochester sat on the bed, smoothing the comforter next to him.*
"Come now, darling...come here and tell me all about it."

*Almost reluctantly, given her recent experience with men and reclining, she sat next to him. He'd take her in his arms and it would all be fine. Better than fine. She looked down at the patterns on the comforter.*
"Rochester, I... I did something I shouldn't have. It was unfair of me. I know how it made you feel the first time, and I never wanted to do anything like that to you again. I wasn't planning to. But he surprised me, he made me... Rochester, I slept with Erik. Again."

"Erik..."
*Rochester's gaze wandered as he was trying to recall.*
"The first, right? Very well...so what happened?"

*Shadi stared at him.*
"I know it... hurt you when you found out. I was angry at him, so I went to see him, and he..."
*She looked down, not meeting his eyes.*
"He held me down. But I didn't... I didn't exactly fight him."
*She squeezed her eyes tight, so she wouldn't have to see his hate.*

*Rochester looked expectant.*
"And...he...he hurt you? That's why your upset?"

*She glanced up at him in surprise.*
"No! I mean, not really. He was rather sweet about it, in the end. But... I felt... I thought I should tell you."
*Now she wasn't sure why.*
