But it had been under his bed for about a month now, and it would go bad soon. Besides, who else did he have, to gift it? He didn't even talk to Louisa. Louisa... she felt like a distant memory now, it had been two months that they didn't speak a word. And Aspen turned it down... better to have it all to himself. Hehe.

So, in those 15 minutes that Delilah was gone, João finally managed to get the wraps off it in one piece and was examining the box when he heard someone address him. Looking up, he smiled broadly.

"Olá!" he greeted back in Portuguese, eyeing the box in HER hands. Then, looking back at his box, he hesitated whether t tell the truth. Delilah wasn't like the others to gossip though... at least João hoped so.

"I meant to give it to someone, actually," he said, trying to keep the hurt tone out of his voice, but he failed a little. It still stung to think about that day, although it was a month ago. "But, ah... she refused." He opened the lid at last and showed her the contents. There were shapes of finest chocolate from finest Brazilian cacao. "Would you like some?"
