Then, what now?

Aleksis did not know how much time had passed until they finally broke free, reluctantly.

The two stared at each other with a somewhat awkward, but happy look. Even though Alaric was wearing a mask, Aleksis could see his eyes beaming, and his gaze made Aleksis' heart beat faster.

"Uhm..." Aleksis looked uncomfortable and blushed. She immediately turned toward the door and, without being told to do so, her legs ran fast out of Alaric's room.

The man was confused with Aleksis' behavior. The girl came and went like storm... He actually wanted to sit down and invite the girl to talk, but the girl left so fast, leaving behind only her scent.

Finally, he smiled to himself, picked up his glass of whiskey, and finished his drink happily.

He could order Pavel to find information about Aleksis tomorrow.
