"About Anne?"
He sighed.
"It's... that's not how things are anymore..."

"No, not that," *she said, shaking her head.*
"You told me I was beautiful."

"Oh, Pina..."
He wiped away a few of her tears with his thumb again.
"You are beautiful."

*Why yes; Pina was beautiful, she was--No! No, not that, he couldn't say that, not Richard. He'd never understand!*
He's only trying to get to you, don't you see, Pina? Don't you see what you are to him? A child?

"Tell that to them," *she said fiercely.*
"They thought I was a dead woman! People fainted. The master of the house ran away."

"The world is populated by fools," *she said darkly.* "Are all of them going to hate me?"

"Pina, whoever told you you're not an absolute treasure is the greatest fool of all," he said sternly, trying to make it clear who he was referring to.

*Erik thought about this. And decided that Richard was decidedly not talking about him. Which didn't make him feel any better about the situation.*

*She shook her head, not feeling all that much like a treasure at the moment.*

"Here- why don't you get dressed, and we can- we can- I don't know, we can act like that never happened."

*She was about to argue when she realized that if she stayed in here much longer, her mother would go looking for her. With a sigh, she climbed out of bed and went to the closet, selecting a simple dress that wouldn't be much trouble to get on. Or off. Moohahahaha!*
"Turn around."

He smiled at her.
"The beach, then?"
Even the beach seemed good with Pina there with him. Damn him, he really loved the girl.
