Unknown...

Ivan rose to his feet and headed into the kitchen. He put the bag of popcorn in the microwave, then waited. When it was done, he took it out and poured the popcorn into a large bowl. Ivan loved the smell of fresh popcorn. He took the bowl into the living room and sat down next to Scarlet. The movie had just started.

Ivan ate popcorn slowly, taking one at a time. Usually, Ivan wouldn't be able to pay attention to this sort of movie, but now that he had met Scarlet, the storyline was given new life. For the first time, he could actually understand why the characters acted the way they did.

(Sorry I was gone for so long. I went to Florida. ^_^ )

Ivan smiled back at Scarlet. "Did you enjoy your nap?" It was late, but Ivan wasn't planning on doing anything too difficult tommorrow, if anything at all.

Ivan stood up, carrying Scarlet. "Here. Let me help you into bed. I should be home all day tomorrow." He gently placed her in his bed and put a blanket over her. He suddenly remembered that he needed a shower after today's hard work, and climbed into the shower to take one.

(I thought it was the day after... But I'd probably end up sitting around the house the whole time, so yes.)

Ivan finished his shower, quietly got dressed to avoid waking Scarlet, and climbed into bed.

Waking up draped in the curtains of the sun's first rays, Ivan sprung out of bed. He double-checked his closet to make sure he still had his tuxedo, then merrily drifted into the kitchen. The house was filled with the irresistable scent of gourmet cooking as Ivan experimented with a new breed of breakfast.
