Josephine smiled slightly, but it was quite forced. She took Raoul's outstretched hand as it was offered and got to her feet. "I am sorry, for causing you all this trouble and worry." Her head was hung as if she was still upset, but she was trying to hide her sadness. Alyxander sat on the couch at the bottom of the staircase and glanced up at the two as they descended down. He had heard most of what had been said earlier, as he had been in his room... but had come downstairs before long before he became upset again. If his temper got the best of him, who knew what kind of rash and dangerous plan he would come up with for revenge? He had to keep his composure, for Josephine's sake.
