As he entered the dining room, he stopped short. Selene sat there, at the right side of his place. A sense of victory came over him. No more avoiding, perhaps. Hopefully so.

“Good evening, Your Grace.” He greeted her, bowing over her hand.

“Good evening for you too, Your Grace.” She tilted her head in greeting.

“You look beautiful.” He complimented her. She wore a dark-blue half-mourning dress with a prudish lace neckline that only made him want to tear it off. He longed to see her in bright colours that became her so nicely. He’d have to wait a little for this, though. It was not disrespect towards his uncle’s passing. So young a lady deserved to enjoy the brightness of life.

Smiling she said. “Thank you. You do not look bad yourself.” She devolved.

Food served, footmen dismissed, as he used to do at dinner, he tried to keep the conversation light. He wanted her to forget the afternoon’s…incident. He hoped her half-brother didn’t importune her ever again.

He couldn’t stop staring at her either. He absorbed every single detail of her beautiful face. Her vivid green eyes, her upturned little nose, her delicate cheeks, her feminine chin, most important, her lush delightful lips. He missed kissing her. He missed her melting under him.
