Leon sat with his head in his hand. Confused, vexed, indignant. He couldn't understand Gale's scheme, and what his next move would be. When it came to something that took hold of his life, impacting him so greatly. Putting him in his weakest point, Ellie. Anything that he thought about, any insightful opportunities for his gang, he made sure would positively affect Ellie in some way. He decided to hire multiple new guards for his humble abode, making sure that there was no harm to go towards Ellie in any way. Leon slowly pushed himself up from his chair adjusting his collar of his suit. He inhaled deeply before exiting his office and making his way down the hallway. He needed something to get his mind off of the extreme betrayal. It frustrated him that one of his closest allies, had not only gone against his values and wants, but attempting to disturb his relationship with Ellie. That was all he cared about, and he didn't care if this would affect his business.

Leon made his way down the hall, passing the guards guarding each doorway. He reached the tall lavender shaded doors, looking at the guards nodding before pushing them forward. His eyes fell on the large bouquet of flowers, not expensive roses or any carnations, simple daisies and weeds. He knew what Ellie liked, he knew that she enjoyed the simple things. She was a simple, yet beautiful thing, symbolic to these daisies. He let his fingertips run against the smooth flawless petals of daisies, inhaling their sweet scent. Everything about the daisies reminded him of Ellie. He heard the doors open quickly and voices speak. He turned around to find Lea and Ellie returning. All three of them looked at each other, and Lea knew immediately to smile and nod before exiting. "I will come back later, Ellie. We can finish the planning later." she said eagerly smiling. Ellie nodded waving goodbye. 

Ellie turned towards the large bouquet gasping in satisfaction. Speechless she moved towards them, next to Leon. Her fingertips reaching the petals, feeling the fragile petal in her hand. "Their-their beautiful, Leo." she cheered. Leon quickly noticed the name she made for him. 'Leo' and he didn't mind it at all. 

"I'm glad that you like them. I was hoping that you'd receive them sooner. But, I didn't wake up early enough to pick them." Leo commented. Ellie turned to him raising an eyebrow.

"You picked all of these yourself?" she questioned. Leo took this as an insult, but ignored it.

"Of course, have you not seen my garden?" Ellie thought of a few crops planted here and there, and a few weeds scattered across the land. But, she was quickly mistaken. "Not quite a garden, more of my sanctuary. I sometimes try to plant flowers myself, but I am always so busy that I never can." he added. "I can show you sometime." Leo grinned. Ellie nodded extremely excited, flowers were always one of her favorite things. They were so imperfect, yet flawless at the same time. The way they carried the dreadful pollen, yet their soft touch and beauty would over look that.

Ellie was speechless. All she could do was show her emotions, there was no way to put into words how much she idolized the gift Leo had given her. Ellie wrapped her arms around Leo's waist, nuzzling her head into his shoulder. Leo was shocked, but accepted her hug quickly by wrapping his arms around her. As they let go of each other, Leo took her hand and looked down into her deep brown eyes. "Ellie, do you care to join me in a lovely evening in my office?" Leo spoke. Ellie raised an eyebrow of the thought, she didn't want to give the idea to Leo that she wanted to have sexual relations, but she did have a desirable hunger for him. She had strong feelings that she believed were ridiculous, as Leo had no felt the same.

"Depends on what's for dinner." she giggled. Leo suddenly thought, taking her words in a wrong way. He ignored himself.

"What would you wish to have? It can be simple if you'd like." he commented. He knew Ellie so well, even though Ellie had been staying at his home for several months now, he felt so close to her. Like they had known each other their whole lives.
