His sudden attitude took Aria back as he closed the door and invited himself inside. Perhaps it was just out of habit, she didn't plan on turning him away anyway, but there was still a tenseness in the air now.
"Where? I've been working-- traveling," she started to defend herself, tightening her robe as she stepped back from the door to walk towards the kitchen. She still needed to make some food, if only to keep her busy and avoid his angry eyes, "I told you I had a shoot in Paris this week. They wanted to get it done today, so that's where I've been."
She stopped by the counter as he followed her, continuing to question and even starting to berate her. It was only then that she realized just what he was talking about about. She paused, slowly turning back to face him, "The party ... That was tonight."
It wasn't a question, just an acknowledgement of a mistake she had clearly made. She knew what the date was, but the one he had told her didn't seem to line up. Or at least... That's what her manager had told her, "I thought that was tomorrow night. That's why I was so determined to do everything today. Elijah--" she stepped closer to him, reaching out to touch his arm, hoping to give some reassurance.
