Too Cold to Swim.

Erika smiled and said," No, It is my fault. I have to fix it by my self." She yawned and looked at Aiden like she had admitted her deepest darkest secret.

[[bleu][Birdy]]

Aiden gave her a strange look, "The only way it would be your fault that your fiance died is that you killed him yourself, and same almost goes for you brother," he said shaking his head.

[shadronaa]

Erika looked at him with watery eyes.-Crap- she thought. She tipped her head up so no tears would fall. She looked at him and said," No, you don't understand."

[[bleu][Birdy]]

Aiden looked at her with wide eyes, "You /didn't/ murder them right?" he said knife-stabbing kind of motion, his eyes still locked on her.

[shadronaa]

Erika laughed and said," Of course I didn't! I just...made him go on that buisness trip."Her smile mested into a frown.

[[bleu][Birdy]]

"So? That's not murder. Was it in his best intrest to go?" Aiden asked which was a bit nosy on his part.

[shadronaa]

Erika sighed and said," His boss would give him a promotion if he went on a buisness trip. He didn't really wnat to go but I told him he would have fun. So he went."

[[bleu][Birdy]]

"You were looking out for him, not hurting him. You couldn't possibly knew that he wouldn't make it home," Aiden said trying to make her feel better.

[shadronaa]

Erika didn't want to cry. A tear drop fell from her eyes. She closed them and muttered," Thankyou."

[[bleu][Birdy]]

"You're very much welcome," he said nicely and happily. Aiden stepped forward to give her a hug but wasn't sure if she wanted one.

[shadronaa]

Erika stepped into the hug she needed it more than anytime before. She smiled and said," Well... do you want dinner my treat" she said smilling.

[[bleu][Birdy]]

Aiden laughed a little, "Sure, I'm broke anyway," he said, "I haven't been around here long though so you can choose where."

[shadronaa]

"Ok." Erika said walking to her cars and picking up her shoes. Hse got in her car and waited.

[[bleu][Birdy]]

Aiden followed her to her car, "I guess we'll take your car?" he said putting his hand on the top of it.

[shadronaa]

Erika said," Sure, I just got it." She stepped inside and started the car.
