”Good evening, Ms. Curtis. I am Timothy Rufus. I don't think I have seen you before,” he said taking her hand and kissing the back of her hand.

”You haven't. If you did, you would know her name,” Lord Nicholas intervened making the man give a sheepish smile.

”You are right, milord. Ms. Curtis, if you wouldn't mind I would like to invite you to my mansion for tea tomorrow. Lord Nicholas too,” Timothy invited both of them.

”We will have to pass, Tim. Ms. Curtis and I are busy tomorrow. Perhaps another time? ” Lord Nicholas shook hands with the man.

”No problem at all. Goodnight Ms. Curtis, Nick.” By the time the carriage reached the Rune mansion, Heidi was half asleep but awake. When they entered the main hall and before they walked to their respective rooms, Heidi began,

”Thank you for tonight, Lord Nicholas. I had a very good time in the theater,” she thanked him to see him smile.

”Don't mention it. It was a pleasure,” he responded back. She then excused herself for the day,murmuring goodnight to Lord Nicholas and Stanley whom she met on her way to her room. Seeing her disappear from his sight he spoke, ”Your heart gives away a lot of things.”

”Milord?” Stanley asked, placing his hand on his heart, taking a look from his lord to his heart and back to his lord. Seeing that his lord hadn't replied to it, he asked, ”Would you want me to send someone for tonight?”

”Yes, please do. My fangs have been itching to bite into for some time now. ”Lord Nicholas exhaled, removing his overcoat and handing it over to his butler, ”The woes of being a pure blooded vampire.”
