Chapter II

A week later, Joyce decided it was time to visit the O'Connor family, especially to discuss the upcoming wedding. Responded to the letter announcing that she willingly consented to go to their plantation to discuss the engagement between Liam and Dawn that it was now accepted by the woman.

Darla sent a letter a couple of days later to inform that Joyce would enjoyed their visit that day and that was also his son Liam. Dawn was happy to learn that she would see the boy and spent all morning in preparation. She finally decided to wear a beautiful blue dress with lace neckline, while in her hair, gathered into two braids, had used the tapes of the same color, it was really adorable.

Elisabeth did not really want to go and his mother had informed her that if he did not feel he could also stay at home, but the girl torn between the desire to see Liam after all these years and the idea of not give in to the Dawn finally announced mother of his intention to join them on a visit to O'Connor. The only sure thing was that it would give satisfaction to his sister to see her upset or angry at what had happened and he unsheathed a smile of convenience as it was taught.

Dawn instead of Buffy had feared that he would fake an illness to avoid being forced to witness his triumph was very surprised when the girl was out of her bedroom fully dressed. He wore a pale pink with a slight neck and long blond hair loose on her shoulders were enriched with curls, as was customary in those years.

Mrs. O'Connor had sent them a cab to take them and after a half hour journey the carriage reached the gate of the property, the gate and walked along the path that divided the plantation into two.

Elisabeth looked at them in amazement, were endless fields of whom worked on dozens of black slaves, the O'Connor family had to be very powerful as he had imagined. Dawn would soon be part of this reality, he knew that, unlike you who did not aspire to this, his sister would have been comfortable to live in all that luxury.

The three women were greeted by a butler, always in color, which accompanies waiting in the great hall where the landlady, Darla O'Connor.

She was quite tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, Elizabeth was overwhelmed by its beauty, it seemed an ethereal creature. He wore a dark red dress with a voluminous skirt that made it extremely difficult to even walk and a wide neckline.

smiled and waved to his guests with a kiss even though they knew so little.

"Joyce, what a pleasure seeing you again after almost a year. Elisabeth're a beauty! "He said, turning to the girl who did not meet for years and seemed to have turned into a woman" She is Dawn? "Asked his mother watching with interest the girl who would soon become his wife.

"Yes, that's her."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. O'Connor." Said the girl with a bow.

"It 's beautiful. And that habit! Let me give you my compliments Joyce, you have two very beautiful daughters. "Darla said with a smile and invited them to sit on the couch" Liam has really good taste, I must admit. "

This comment startled Buffy was right, Dawn was really beautiful, much older than her, so she was in love with Liam.

was so concentrated in his thoughts that he did not notice that Mrs. O'Connor had turned to her, "Elisabeth? Elisabeth! "

The girl walked out of the trance that had caught for a moment and stared at the woman who spoke to" Elisabeth was saying to your mother how sorry I am that you are suffering from the break the engagement, I suppose he cared very much. "" I feel better now, Dawn is happy and I can not help but be myself. "lied, glancing furtively at his sister and noticed that his lips appeared a malicious smile. He could not believe that she was happy for his state of mind, it was really bad.

"I regret this situation," said Dawn then innocently with "I did not know was the boyfriend of Elisabeth when I met him. If I had known I would never have consented to his court, "he lied while inside himself exulted, everything was going according to his plans.

Elisabeth gave her icy glares and Dawn realized that she had understood what was his game, but she had nothing. The most important thing was to make a good impression to Mrs. O'Connor, was from her that everything depended on his future.

"Liam went on a tour of the plantation, but will be back soon." She announced with a smile "This will give the opportunity to review Dawn."

"It I'd be happy lady. "Dawn said with a smile.

Buffy grimaced and turned his gaze elsewhere, concentrating the room where they were, was fabulous, furnished in colonial style. There were two glasses almost to the high wooden ceiling, a fireplace and a dresser, while at the center of the room were three chairs and a sofa on which she sat, her mother and Dawn.

The living room overlooking the garden through two huge windows that, given the heat, were open so that Buffy had a chance to peek out, there was a porch surrounded by columns, above which one could see the flower beds and a beautiful fountain in the center, while not far away there were marble benches.

She sighed, thinking in a sunny day like that would have preferred to walk instead of staying locked in the house.

At that moment the door burst open and a very tall boy with brown hair tied back in a queue, entered the room. Buffy stared at him for a moment trying to figure out who he was, then recognized him, it was Liam. He was so changed since the last time had seen who had struggled to recognize it and had to admit, was far more beautiful as I remembered. No wonder he had any luck with women with that innate charm and aristocratic air. The boy smiled at the fascinating view of the guests who were in the company of his mother and moved away.

Darla met him and greeted him with enthusiasm "Liam, my son Summers greets the girls who came to us accompanied by their mother."

The boy bowed and kissed her hand gallantly to Joyce saying "Nice to see you Mrs. Summers, I'm really pleased that you decided to grace us with your visit."

\u0026lt;\u0026lt;Liam, memories Elisabeth?>> said his mother behind him pointing at the tiny girl sitting in a corner of the sofa.

He turned to the girl sitting in front of him and immediately was overwhelmed by her beauty and sweetness, was completely different from how you remember it. The last time I saw her was just a silent girl with braids, but that it appeared at that time in front of him was a wonderful woman with two green eyes like emeralds and her hair the color of a wheat field.

How could he have refused such a woman? Was she the one who should have married? If only fate had not brought together his younger sister now she would still his girlfriend. He could not tear his eyes from his face so perfect, and his body wrapped in the clothes they left figure turned its forms. Liam was silent for a moment, while Elisabeth held out his hand. Suddenly he realized his actions gallant little and taking her hand it to her lips "I'm really happy to see you again after all these years.>

" Liam Day. "He said simply, her heart was beating furiously in his chest "I'm also pleased to see you."

"You're different from what I remembered." he said with a strange light in her eyes that she did not escape, "You grew up!"

"It was the same thing as I thought." said the girl returning his gaze and smiled sweetly, "Did I recognized almost .

Dawn while staring at them furiously, his sister was monopolizing the conversation with Liam preventing them greet him as he wanted, but the thing that bothered her most was the way he looked.

"Liam!" Finally intervened with acid tone "I know it was a long time since you and Elisabeth met there, but do not you think educated greet your girlfriend? "

The boy jerked his left hand to Buffy and without another word he turned to Dawn stared showing a fake smile while inside him screamed with rage.

Liam took her hand and kissed it, "Dawn, these weeks have been hell without you again. I looked forward to your mother accept our invitation to have a chance to talk with you again. "

" I dreamed of this day Liam. "She said as the boy took his seat on a chair beside the sofa.

Buffy watched the scene contracting the jaw, he hated the way it rubbed against his sister, was a very unseemly behavior. He knew why did so, he noticed the way that Liam looked at her and was jealous enough to want to again draw attention to herself. He smiled thinking about the eyes so full of desire that had launched, had sent goose bumps. Was not used to this kind of looks from men and the fact that Liam was the prerimo filled her with joy.

Meanwhile, Liam was going to talk about "Madame Summers ..." he said, clearing the "will certainly learned from my mother or your daughter who is my intention to woo your younger daughter."

"Yes, your mother put me aware of everything and even your decision to break his engagement to Elizabeth. "

Buffy, feeling startled to pronounce his name, was not ready to that, he was not ready to the look of compassion that Liam would be restricted thereafter.

He then prepared a reply, but Liam was faster and spoke first, "This engagement was decided by my mother, to my back while I was in Europe, he came to power only once returned to the U.S. when I had already met Dawn. "

" But Liam, "his mother interjected," I thought I was acting in your interest ... "

" Certainly mother, but I wanted to be informed of your decision. "

" You're right, my son, I was wrong to keep you in the dark, but ... "

" but no mother. "he said somewhat annoyed by the situation so unpleasant "If you had I been silent all that your decisions would not have happened."

Buffy heard about Liam and his every word was like a stab in the chest, but how could it be possible that in two years his mother had not bothered to tell him? He could not believe his ears.

Liam turned to the girl and said, "Elisabeth, I'm sorry you feel betrayed, it was not my intention."

meanwhile She tried to hold back tears, she could not cry, not that moment, not in front of him.

Buffy nodded and drove back the tears, lied "Do not be sorry Liam, see, for me it was almost a relief. To be honest I was not too excited about this engagement. "

His words shocked both his mother so that Dawn that both turned toward her. Dawn stared at her in disbelief, but because that change so suddenly? A few days earlier was in despair at being rejected and now claimed to have even raised? Dawn could not believe even one of his words, he was blatantly lying because he was too proud to leave leaked all the pain she felt to be rejected.

"Really?" Said surprised "I am heartened by your words Elisabeth, I felt really guilty about this whole situation that has arisen."

" Do not worry. "Buffy said, wishing to put an early end to the discussion in which difficult would hold another minute.

"Now that everything is clear we can talk about something else," said Darla suddenly "Joyce you are in favor of this engagement, right?"

"Sure, although I am sad for my poor Elisabeth that will see her younger sister get married before her." Said the woman concerned, but Buffy with a look made her realize that she was not there problems.

Darla then continued to talk, "From this moment then it's official! We will organize a dance in a month for the engagement. "

Dawn was not the happiness itself, just what I had always wanted, a dance in his honor.

Everything was going as he planned, he could not wanting more, even if something seemed to disturb his happiness, eyes blue as the ocean. He had to admit that Spike had come in and even if she had seen him only once, he could not remove it from the mind. He decided he had to see him again, even briefly, what if you had to understand what she felt for him was only attraction or something and then eradicate it in the bud. Nothing could have ruined her engagement with Liam.

Meanwhile, Darla Joyce argued with the preparations for the wedding while Buffy remained silent, was tired of that place and all that talk, he had a great desire to get away and to scream. Liam every launched some time to glimpse without being seen by Dawn, but Buffy was so lost in thought as not to notice.

Suddenly he spoke, "Dawn, how about a walk in the garden?" Liam suggested

"It would be fabulous!" Said the girl uttering a cry of happiness "Your garden looks beautiful, I would love to see him. "

" Come Elisabeth? "then he asked" The day is so beautiful that it's a sin to remain locked in a room. "

The girl smiled and looked at her mother for approval. The woman nodded in that way would keep an eye on Dawn because it was convenient that she and Liam were alone.

The three walked in the garden, Liam was one of the two girls and talked of his trip to Europe with Buffy who seemed very happy with the attention that set them apart, while Dawn and listened without speaking furious he sees his sister so much.

"You know, London is very beautiful, but the city I like most is Paris, the nightlife is like no other." The was saying

"Paris? Have you been to Paris? "Buffy asked eagerly," I would love to visit! I read that it is a charming city that is full of museums. "

" It is. You really should go there, you know? "

" It would be fabulous, but I do not think it will be possible, at least not in the near future, unfortunately. "She said sadly, their finances enabled them to live a barely dignified, a trip to Europe was not conceivable.

"A Too bad, you would have adored. "he said without taking his eyes from his lips, an irresistible desire to make her his overwhelmed him, but the sudden voice of the Dawn looked away from that sinful thought

" We could go together, you and me in Paris, do not you Liam? Maybe on our honeymoon! "Suggested slightly altered, Buffy was once again caught his attention and this just could not stand it

" Sure honey. "He said," Wherever you want. "

Dawn smiled triumphantly, and put his arm under that of her boyfriend as sign of ownership, wound while Buffy looked away, Dawn was the one he preferred, he spoke with her only out of politeness, not because he was delighted by her company.

"I love to travel." Dawn then said "And if that day had not returned from Savannah, we would have never met."

"You're right baby, we have to thank your mother decided to make you leave the college. "said Liam watching intently.

"Yes"

Buffy sighed sadly, I hate that its conditions chaperones, but could not do anything about it, it was his task to watch over his sister when she was with Liam.

"Liam Tell me, what you did two years in Europe?"

The boy grinned and replied, "It 's been really intense. I have traveled extensively, visiting museums, but most of all I enjoyed it! "

" What do you mean? "Buffy interjected.

Liam did not answer, but gave a mischievous smile that made her blush immediately.

! See, these speeches are not suitable for girls like you. It 'better to remain a secret. "

" Liam! "Dawn said indignantly," What would you say? You really are incorrigible. "

He laughed even infecting the two girls.

The day passed quickly and after a sumptuous dinner, he drove the cab in the city. On the way Dawn never tired of talking, he told how he was nice to spend time with Liam and was eager to repeat the experience. Her mother advised her to behave moderation, that he should not talk that way and that it would review only when she had found it necessary. Joyce thought it was fitting not spend too much time with a man, even if it was her fiancé. Dawn tried to protest, but his mother was adamant on this point. The only thing that the agreement was to be able to go for a walk in the afternoon accompanied by the following Shana, as she and Buffy went to visit the lawyer Rupert Giles, an old family friend who was to speak with some of their business. Dawn was satisfied, he would have had the opportunity to go back to the beach and maybe a review of the mysterious Spike, whose face he continued to peep into his mind
