She rolled a 3. "Dang it," she said and looked at him.
"Looks like I start us off, then," he said with a smile, looking at her. He rolled the dice again and rolled a 2. He moved the pawn thing.
((the pawn thing))
She rolled and got a 10. She made it to the Conservatory and accused Mr. Green with the dagger. She looked at him to see if he had any of the cards.

He looked down at his cards and saw he had the Conservatory. He showed her. He watched her mark her card. He grabbed the die when it was his turn and rolled. He got a 6. He made it to the study and accused Scarlet with the pistol.
She sighed and said she had none of the cards, not knowing if he was trying to trick her and rolled, got a 5 and was in the hallway.
Liam marked it down on his card. He rolled and got a 10. He made it to the library. He accused Mustard with the rope.
She sighed again and said she had Mustard. She put her hand out for a second just wanting to squeeze his before continuing, trying to show him she was at peace with her mind.
He smiled and took her hand. He squeezed it. He marked it on the card.
She takes a deep breath and they continue the game, marking off until one of them thinks they won. Skylar is close and she's trying hard to have her poker face on. She's still holding his hand, playing with the other.
Liam was about to win this thing. He had his accusation at the ready. All he needed to do was get to the middle of the board and announce it. He rolled a 12 and made it to the middle. "I accuse," he looked down, "Scarlet in the library with the rope." Liam reached over and grabbed the envelope with the answer. He smiled.
She gasps, hoping to God that he's wrong. She had Scarlet and the library but she hadn't figured out the weapon. It was in between the rope and the pipe. She holds her breath as his hands reach for the envelope. "I reallllly hope you're wrong." she says smiling.
He smiles sheepishly and shakes his head, "Sorry," he showed her the cards. He had been right.
She falls backwards, dramatically. "Dang ittttttttt."
He laughs, "That was fun, were you close?"
"YESSSS!" she yells, laughing. "I just needed the weapon!!"
Liam laughed harder, "And you were talking all that smack." He said, teasingly.
She smiles and says, "ugh I thought you were badddd," squeezing his hand.
He laughs again and squeezes her hand.
She shakes her head, still feeling a bit off with him, a little awkward and unsure from earliers fight.
"Do you want to play a different game?" He asked as Lillian knocked on his door. "Dinner, kids." She said, with a smile.
Skylar immediately looks at Lillian, thinking about everything she had told her. She hoped she had given her less food. She didn't know if she could stomach it, her stomach flipping, more nervous to be around all of them again, after last time and yk the whole fight. She loved how she called them "kids" as if Skylar was one of her own. She looks at Liam, scared, out of her depth.
"Hey, Lillian? Is Dad eating at the table tonight?" He asked her to which she shook her head and said, "I told him to eat in his room tonight. He said he had tons of work to do anyways." Liam looked at Skylar and smiled and squeezed her hand.
Skylar squeezed his hand even tighter, some of the pressure coming off. There was still some though, she was still experiencing heavy guilt.
Liam squeezed her hand back. He slowly guided her downstairs to the kitchen.
She followed him, nervous again for the meal.
They made their way downstairs and saw that Lillian had set up dinner, buffet style. "Help yourselves. Just make sure to eat some meat and veggies."
Skylar sits down with a pleading look in her eyes at Liam. She doesn't like how dependent she is on him, but she needs him like she needs air to breathe.
"What do you want?" Liam asked her, softly. "It's okay." He said, squeezing her hand. "You got this."
She covers her hands with her face and whispers, "I wish I could just be normal, not like this every time food is presented." she looks up at him and says, "I'll eat whatever." sounding weak and scared.
He kissed her head before letting go of her hand. He fixed them the same thing, but lowered her portions slightly so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed.
She sees him, concentrated on their food and sees that he made hers smaller. "Thank you," she whispers, knowing he knows what she means.
"Of course," he whispered back. He took a seat and grabbed her hand softly.
So, she sat, one hand holding on to his tightly, the other one forcing unwanted sustenance down her throat. Oh the things she did for him.
He squeezed her hand encouragingly as she ate. He slowly began to eat too.
She had eaten more in this day then she had for the past few years. She feels a tear making its way down her face, trying to ignore it, hoping Lillian and Liam don't notice.
Liam doesn't make a big deal out of the tear but he wipes it quickly before grabbing her hand again.Lillian smiled and walked out, letting them eat in privacy.
She took a deep breath and smiled at him, loving how he didn't make a big deal out of it. When Lillian smiled and walked out, she started laughing saying, "She definitely saw that, didn't she?'
Liam nodded and laughed too, "I think she did."
She shakes her head, shocked from the sudden mood change. His face, the side that she had smacked at least, was back to normal color and she kissed his cheek lightly, not wanting to cause another problem, still feeling like she was walking on eggshells with him.
"I love you Skylar." He told her, squeezing her hand when she sat back down.
"I know you do," she says teasing, and then seriously, "I love you too always, no matter what happens or how stupid I act. Even if I scream at you, or God forbid, hit you again, I love you. I'll love you forever. And I know I'll mess up and there'll be more fights, but I'll still love you. You're my forever Liam Peterson."
He smiles and listens, "I love you so much, Skylar Robbins. You are and always will be mine," he looked into her eyes, not smiling anymore, he was serious, "No matter what. No matter if you scream at me, no matter if you push me away. I will always love you, Skylar Robbins."
Her heart is pounding, and she knows he means it. And she hates that she feels like she can't kiss him. It's a wall that was put up by him that'll stay with her, probably forever, for their entire relationship. She just smiles instead, screaming on the inside, willing herself not to care nor cry.
"Can I kiss you?" He asked her, softly, still holding her hand.
She wants to kiss him. Really bad. She also wants to pull away, but doesn't, because he was at least courteous enough to ask. She tries to keep her breathing in check as she tries to say yes in a regular voice.
He slowly and carefully leaned into to kiss her. Giving her enough time and space to pull away.
She dares not to move, knowing her body will betray her if she closes the gap. She whispers, "It's okay, really. Do it."
He nods slightly and closes the gap. Kissing her ever so softly.
She keeps her emotions down, kissing him politely back. She doesn't trust him enough to let herself be herself.
