The moment Curtis left, Xena shot an annoyed glare at Felix.

"Don't think that just because my grandfather said we're in a relationship, you can ask me to do anything," she spat out.

Felix spread his hands nonchalantly. "Relax. I'm not interested in you. I just need to get through this month."

"Are you eating or not? If not, you can leave," Xena said.

With a wave of his hand, Felix turned to leave. He wasn't about to waste his energy interacting with Xena. Since they both disliked each other, he figured that for the next month, he would just put up with it for Curtis' sake. Although the engagement wasn't officially canceled, at least there was now a clear path ahead. It was better than the uncertainty he had faced before.
