Myriam finishes putting my hair into a bun.
"Are you sure you want to go down? I can stay here with you up here," Myriam tries to convince.
"I want to be with Ciel, especially now," I say. Myriam nods and escorts me downstairs to the study. She knocks on the door.
"Earl Phantomhive?" Myriam asks.
"Come in!" he calls.
I open the door. Ciel is concentrating, messing with some papers. When he looks up and sees me, he smiles and stands up to greet me. I run to him and hold him in a strong embrace.
"Are you ready?" he asks with a smile.
"As I'll ever be," I smirk.

I'm talking with Ciel in the study when Sebastian knocks on the door. I scoot closer to Ciel in the love seat.
"Come in!" Ciel calls.
Alois, Claude, and Sebastian walk in. Claude flashes me a grin. He never changed his appearance in all these years, but Alois, he changed. His blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He had on a nice suit and was considerably taller. He seemed happier; he had a kind smile on.
"Hello, Ciel," Alois bows. His voice has gotten a bit deeper. I have to admit, he's gotten kind of cute.
"Hello, Trancy," Ciel spits. "Why did you come here?"
Alois looks appalled. "Ciel, by the look of _______'s face, she got over the past. Can't you, Ciel?"
I blush. He caught me staring. He smiles at me. My heart melts. Ciel grabs my hand. I snap out of it.
"What do want?" Ciel asks again.
Alois sighs. "Angels and Demons alike are after _______."
Ciel sits up. "Why am I only just hearing this? Shouldn't Sebastian have picked up on this?"
"No, this is underground stuff. Claude told me about this and I immediately phoned Sebastian," Alois says. "Your darling is in danger. My Claude can barely stand himself. She gives off a weird aura that attracts the supernatural."
Ciel looks at me with fear on his face. "What do we do?" he asks Alois without looking at him in the face.
"I am offering the services of me and my servants at your disposal," Alois extends his hand and bows. Ciel takes it and then pulls Alois close. Ciel hisses in his ear. "Keep your butler far from my _______."
Alois nods. Sebastian opens the door and peaks in. "Dinner is ready, Master Ciel."
Ciel nods and everyone heads to the dining room. James and Sebastian pull out both mine and Ciel's chair. Claude pulls out Alois' chair across from me. James and Sebastian leave with Claude following.
"So, Ciel, how's Funtom? Well I hope?" Alois asks trying to start conversation.
"Yes, the company is partners with ________'s fashion shops. Her company makes the doll clothes," Ciel responds.
Then, Sebastian, James, and Claude come in carrying patters of steaming food. James places mine in front of me. It's white beans over rice with seasoned toast. I dip my toast into the bowl and then onto my mouth. It tastes delicious.
"Wow, Ciel, you know how to employ cooks!" Alois exclaims.
"I believe that was _______'s cook, James," Ciel smiles.
