He sighed heavily from his bed, pondering what to do. He was to see Lady Marina but he couldn't very well leave Danielle at her father's mercy. He would have to figure out something. He was done with her, sort of anyway. He still cared for her, but he wasn't sure that it would ever work out between them. She had made her distaste in him quite plain, and she went very far out of her way to prove how much she hated him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0080FF">"Take this and go get Lady Danielle. Tell her to straighten herself out and that I will meet her at a later time. I have business to attend,"</span>Lord Alexander instructed, tossing a small bag of coins to the servant. The man gave a bow,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FFBF00"> "At once, Sir..." </span></span>then he was off to do the task. Alexander rolled out of bed then in all his naked glory, walking across the room to dress for the day. He dipped a cloth into a basin of water that was in the room, wiping his face some, then his body. He didn't have the luxury of a bath this day, but it didn't matter so long as he could wipe down. He finished readying himself, then gave a deep sigh.<br/><br/>He was excited to meet with Marina, but Danielle weighed heavily on his mind once more. He gave a small smile, though, knowing Marina would make him forget all about the cruel Danielle the moment her sweet voice reached his ears. With that in mind, he left his room--heading to Lady Marina's with confidence. It did not take him long.<br/><br/>He stood at her door, suddenly feeling a bit anxious. He didn't understand the feeling, but tried not to think too much on it. Finally, he knocked, waiting for the door to open.
