Lillian sniffed the air, her nose turned up.
"I have avoided them at all costs."

Ryan sighed. "Me too. I had to sneak into my house... but once I told them I was meeting you for a picnic today, they all left me alone."

"This is absolutely appalling." Lillian replied, tearing out some grass and gritting her teeth.
"I cannot believe my parents would force an engagement on me."

"Would they really have let you choose?" asked Ryan curiously.

"Well, they've never said anything about it before last night. So, I just figured they would. They've mentioned acceptable suitors before, but nothing like this."
For a brief period of time last night, Lillian had been absolutely livid. She had always been fiercely independent, to a fault, really. And now her parents were trying to dictate her life?! But, after a cup of hot tea and a hair brushing, she realized it could be worse. They could have chosen Lord Westcliff who was even more unbearable than Ryan. The man was a pompous peacock and treated women like they were bottles of cologne - once he'd used them up, he threw them out and got a new one.

"I'm just that charming, huh?" smirked Ryan, unable to keep it in any longer.
He hated it when things got too serious and that's when his teasing would naturally appear.

"Apparently." Lillian smirked right back. "Damn you."
It was then she realized she was hungry. She opened the basket and retrieved a chicken and cheese sandwich along with an apple.

"Don't complain," teased Ryan. "You'd be horrible if they chose someone else. At least you'll have fun with me."
He eyed the basket, realizing that he was also incredibly hungry.

"At least I actually know you." Lillian relented before taking a bite of her sandwich.
Since Ryan was now focused on rummaging through the picnic basket, Lillian took this opportunity to study him. He was actually quite attractive with his dark hair and brilliant, gleaming, straight teeth. And she could tell he was well-muscled, even though he was wearing a shirt. Seriously, it could have been much, much worse.

Ryan grinned to himself when he found another sandwich. Taking it out of the basket, he took a bite before looking over at Lillian and realized that she was staring.
"...Is there something on my face?"

"Yes. Your spectacles." She noted dryly before shoving the rest of her sandwich in her mouth.
How lady-like...

Ryan gave her a look before continuing to eat his sandwich.
"Oh, yes. Aren't you a smart one, Miss Lillian Wellsley?" he smirked. He looked at her, finally noticing that she was indeed beautiful. Her light hair shone under the bright sunlight and her dress fit her perfectly. And now, I'm staring...

((GET THIS. When I got back to my computer and refreshed this page, the time was 9:22. And you posted at 9:22!! ~Mind twins.))
"Thank you for noticing." She replied once she'd swallowed her sandwich. She still wasn't looking at him, however, and didn't notice his gaze on her.

((LOL I LOVE IT.))
Ryan blinked, realizing what he was just doing. What the hell was going on with him?
"So, is this what you usually do? Have picnics?" he asked, distracting himself from doing anything but looking at her.

"What do you mean what I usually do?" She took a bite out of her apple, its juices spraying out as she sunk her teeth into it.
