“Thank you for escorting me outside on the veranda. It is a beautiful night,” Anika said with a small smile as Brian walked back with her inside the ballroom.

She had wanted to go outside on the veranda to get some air alone but Brian had insisted on going with her. She found him to be entertaining as they spoke about their lives.

He had been honest in letting her know that he was very interested in her but she had to let him down gently, informing him that she had just got of a relationship and she couldn’t offer anything except friendship right now.

“Anytime, friend,” he said gently offering his arm to her. She smiled, relieved that he seemed to understand. She took his arm as they walked back into the ballroom where the party was still in full swing.

She glanced around not recognizing anyone as they walked further into the room. She grabbed a flute of champagne from a server as he navigated his way around the room.

“I would like to see you sometime,” Brian said, rubbing the top of her hand. “Just as friends,” he added quickly just as she was about to protest.

“I won’t be staying here after tonight,” she said taking a small sip of the champagne. “I’ll be moving in with my sister.”

“That’s fine—” Brian’s voice faded away as her eyes locked on a familiar figure whose body she knew intimately, dancing with a woman in a deep emerald dress with black hair pulled back into a bun.

Her steps faltered as she watched when he leaned in kissing the female. Her glass slipped from her fingers, crashing to the floor, shattering into a thousand pieces.

“Are you alright?” Brian asked her as he flagged down a server.

“Yes,” she said, not taking her eyes off the love of her life.

She knew she had been correct in breaking it off from Toma to make room for his vampire mate. She just never knew a broken heart would hurt so much.
