My expression morphed to confusion as I lowly replied, "You never asked."

"It is rare to see a young person being so interested in literature." Mrs Lewis said before asking "What is your favourite book?"

"It is hard to choose but if I had to pick an author then I would pick Edgar Allan Poe." I answered her before remembering "Although, I can't read anymore because I have lost it."

Mrs Lewis' smile dropped as she looked to Stone. Her husband next to her however peered between me and Stone with a face of amusement.

"The boys tell us nothing, so we have no idea how you all met." Mr Lewis spoke up.

Brennan replied to his father "Well Lovely Lana and I met in the line to a candy apple stall. There was only left so I said I would share it with her if she went on the Ferris wheel with me."

"Very smooth. I have raised you well." Mr Lewis interjected with a chuckle before he motioned to my side of the table "Now, how did you two meet?"

Stone was watching me and waiting for me to reply. His attention never left me as I retold the story.

I laughed while telling them about our infamous first encounter "I was actually really nice to Lurch—I mean Stone. Then he said that my hair was the colour of puke."

A gasp came from Mrs Lewis "That is awful! I hope he apologised."

I was about to shake my head and maybe let out a fake cry when the man in question spoke up while letting out a deep laugh.

"You got even." Stone replied, "You still call me Lurch."

"You call me Medusa." I argued, "If you never insulted my hair, I would have been nice to you from the start."

"I doubt that." He accused, raising a brow.

I hummed "Maybe you are right."

Stone then lowered his voice until it was a deep rough murmur "I would not change how we met."

For a second I forgot that everyone else existed. It was just me and him. I found myself half surrendering to the small battle between us because next, I revealed "I would not change it either."

Brennan's mother's voice pulled me out of my intense eye-lock with Stone as she asked me "What was your first impression of him before he insulted your hair?"

"I thought a giant had raided the ice cream shop." I answered safely, not wanting to admit what I really had thought when we met. I was not going to flatter him and lose my dignity while at it.

Everyone had burst out laughing.

"My first thought was woah this guy is huge." I joked and then added, "Then I had the urge to strangle him."

The giant shook his head, chuckling down at me "Medusa, you cannot even reach my neck."

I narrowed my eyes at him while laughing "I can when you are sitting down."
