Is rich an understatement?

"That actually went better than I expected." Aeden turns back to Lucina and sits on the couch next to her. "Umm Lucina? I know you're not sleeping. Can we talk?"

"Oh. Aeden! I didn't 'realize you were there' What do you want to talk about?" Lucina sits up on the couch.

Aeden smiles. I have no idea why I think her pretending to be asleep is adorable. Aeden tries to get closer to Lucina but remembers that she is still mad at him. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about how I acted. You were just talking to your friend and I blew it out of proportion. After talking with Reginald I saw that everything about this was my fault, not Stevens, and most definitely not yours. You were already having a terrible day and I only made it worse. I just hope you can forgive me for what I did. That bed's too big for me to sleep in by myself while you're down here." Aeden reaches out for Lucina's hand and holds it hoping she accepts his apology.

"Why are you apologizing? When I said it was fine I meant it... I wanted to sleep down here because this couch is comfy...hehe" She takes his hand accepting the apology. She smiles.

Aeden is dumbstruck he looks away from Lucina a blank stare in his face. So she was fine the whole time. Aeden starts looking around the room and gets up. "I need a drink." Aeden leaves the room and starts to wander the house looking for liquor. At this point he would be satisfied with rubbing alcohol.
