6 Familiar stranger- Part 3 (2/2)

”Neither did I,” she replied with a small smile.

”Seems like you have enjoyed the show very much. Is this your first time?” She nodded her head to his question. His hair was styled back neatly and he looked no less than an elite member of the vampire class. Now that she noticed he was a very handsome man, his chiseled features with high cheekbones, straight nose, and dark brows.

”I take it you have been to theater's many times,” she stated looking at his red eyes that looked no less than looking at an endless tunnel where someone could get lost.

”Oh, that one. I forgot about that,” she laughed softly.

”You should be careful when you walk...you don't know which man might shovel you again.”
