Thank goodness Dio decided to go to his room. It just meant that he wouldn't get another mish mash of all of her feelings on the matter. Bad enough he had been bothered by that special touch of Joseph's.

"It's not magic silly. But I'll try not to." She winked, and went off to put the chocolates in the kitchen, and start up the washer for Joseph's clothes. It wouldn't be a bad idea for her to do her own, but she'd left her socks and shoes behind. She wanted to get those before putting in a load for herself.

Prep work done, she came up to her bathroom door in time to hear the shower running. And...for a moment, she had the odd shiver, staring at the door. Like she wanted to peek in, or join him.

She shook herself, and hurried to grab Joseph's clothes and out of the room. One crush was bad enough. She didn't even know what to call this.
