Fifteen minutes later, Josh entered Lisa’s bedroom with a plate with some breakfast in his hand. He frowned, as he saw Lisa lying in Phin’s arm. Both exchanged confused glances, while Lizzy was ignoring her father’s presence.

„I have some breakfast for you, pumpkin,“ he said, coming closer. 

Lisa still didn’t react. 

„Please do me a favor and try at least, okay?“ 

„Um… Lizzy, you really should eat something,“ Phin said. 

„Stop talking, Timberlake,“ she warned him, with her eyes still on the screen. 

Josh put the plate at her bedside table and left her room. As he returned downstairs, Eve was sitting at the kitchen island again and forcing herself to eat. 

Josh sat down next to her. 

„What does that irritated look mean?“ she wanted to know. 

„Lizzy is lying in Phin’s arm and watching telly with him.“ 

„That’s good, isn’t it? Maybe he managed breaking down her walls.“ 

„Na… I don’t think so… she’s still angry… it was weird seeing them like this.“ 

„Whatever it means, I’m glad she’s accepting some’s company.“ 

„Ya, me, too.“ 

Two hours later, Lisa was still lying in Phin’s arm. 

„Um… Lizzy…“ Phin whispered. 

„Shhhhh…“ she rebuked him. 

„I’ve classes in half hour…“ 

Lisa took another deep breath, before she raised herself a little to turn out of his arm. Phin stood up and stretched himself. 

„What about your breakfast? You didn’t taste it, yet,“ he asked her. 

Lisa gave him a stern look.

„If you wanna come back, learn to be quiet, first.“ 

Phin smiled at her. 

„When do you want me to come back?“ 

„After classes.“ 

Phin couldn’t be more surprised hearing her say that.

„Okay.“ 

Then he went to her door.

„Phin,“ Lisa said, to make him stop.

„Yes?“ 

„Don’t shower.“ 

He frowned. 

„Why?“ 

„I like the way you smell.“ 

„But… um… I have sports this afternoon…“

„I don’t mind.“ 

„You’re sure…?“ 

„Yes,“ she interrupted him. „No shower.“
