"I need to freshen up before I cook something." Elia said as she started walking up the stairs.
"We can go out, if you want?'' Eros asked, waiting for her reaction. He had already made a reservation in a restaurant but didn't want to say that, for he feared she would feel burdened and drop the dinner idea altogether.
Just as he had thought, Elia looked very uncomfortable by his offer. She didn't want to go out with him. Who knows what he was planning? The brothers clearly disliked her, so she didn't know why Eros was behaving contrary to that. Was he testing her? There was no other plausible reason for the present situation. He must be testing to see if she could uphold the terms of the contract.
