Cassius found Rose curled up in the corner of the sofa, her eyes glued to the e-reader in one hand, as she chewed a finger on her other. He hated to disturb her so just stood watching as her facial expressions continually changed, a whole host of emotions showing as she read.

“Well, dammit, don’t do that,” she hissed before shaking her head.

Cassius let out a small chuckle and her head spun around toward him. Rose’s eyes widened and then she frowned over at him. “How long you been there?”

“A few minutes,” he admitted, smiling.

“Well, that’s just rude.” She laid the e-reader on the side table.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. You looked so engrossed in your reading.”

“I am, was, shoot, you know what I mean.” She untucked her legs, stretching out on the sofa. “I’m really enjoying that thing, there’s lots of books on it and I’ve found a new author I love.”

“Really?” Cassius sat down, taking her feet onto his lap and gently massaging them.

“Oh, that feels good!” Rose almost purred. “Oh right, yeah, books, it’s an author called Monica La Porta, I found a whole set of her books on that thing. She has others, or so the bit at the back of the books say, but this series is her Immortal series and they are way good. I’ve also found a thriller writer or two that I’m enjoying too.”

“You’re reading more than one at a time?” Cassius asked, eyebrow raised.

“Yes.” Rose yawned. “I’m reading some of one, then doing a bit of another, and back again. Why?”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard someone do that. I start a book and finish it before going onto the next one I want to read.”

“Well, I’m not exactly what you’d call conventional and I’m enjoying reading so much, I’ve never had this many books before.” Her eyes twinkled excitedly. “It’s got tons, and I mean tons, on it.”

“I’m glad you like it.” Cassius continued rubbing her feet.

“I’m still on the hunt for more in that other author’s series, Eden Elsworth. I think I’m gonna freak if I can’t find her entire Real World series.”

“We’ll see what we can do about that after we get back home.”

Rose frowned. “Back home?”

“From our meeting with Basilius,” Cassius answered sarcastically.

“Aaah, yes, our little dance with the Demon King.” Rose threw up her hands. “How on earth could I forget such an important engagement?”

“I’ve no idea.” Cassius went along with her joking. “You must be so wrapped up in those fabulous stories that it completely slipped your mind.”

“Yup.” Rose laughed. “That’s definitely it.”

“I’ve got my tux out and ready, what are you planning on wearing?”

“Oh.” Rose tapped her chin. “I might go shopping and grab something new. Do you think a nice silk gown would be suitable attire?”

Cassius threw his head back, laughing loudly, and it took him a few moments to get himself under control. When he did, Rose was scowling over at him. Her voice outraged. “Are you making fun of me? If you’re wearing a tuxedo then the least I can do is find something nice to wear.
