The tatter of gentle rapping upon Saoirse's door broke the still silence.
[b]"Saoirse"[/b] Dorian's cautious voice called out.
[b]"There is food downstairs infront of the fireplace, if you are sleeping or too tired to join me I will leave you some in the fridge."[/b]
He knew she must be hungry by now but was offering her an easy out if she wished to avoid him still further.
It wasn't long after his footsteps faded that the soft crackling of fresh flames serenaded the silence and a warm welcoming aroma of Chinese food filled the air.

Dorian sat patiently before the wide variety of food waiting and hoping to be joined.
