Raindrops On A Hot Summer's Day

…Anastasia POV…

It has been a week since my encounter with Sebastian in the study. My body has not forgotten the craving that I feel for him, the absolute desire. I know his body desired me, but that mind that always gets in the way soon pushed me aside. I truly believe that I need to come to the realization that he shall never be mine again. Who would have thought that his stubbornness runs so deep, but then again, I would have done the same? In fact, I have done worse, and that is with the woman from his past.

Today I am dressing up in an exquisite deep red ball gown; there is a ball that is being held at a Vampire of high stature's home. I must say that I have not heard of him before, but from what one of the servants tell me, he is rather stunning on the eye and even more charming. Now I do not think I would have been allowed to attend as Sebastian shall be there, but they shall honor me for my heroics for saving the Vampire community on numerous occasions.
