The truth of the Mysterious da Vinci

Quade moved about in the practice room with an air of nervousness. Annabel could tell this was not an easy topic to discuss for him.

He came to a stop and sat down hesitantly before her.

“Annabel, this is no easy task for me…you are the only human being so far that haven’t rejected me the moment you witnessed my deformity and for that I cannot thank you enough.” He explained with a touch of grief while kissing the top of Annabel’s hand.

She was taken aback by this gesture and swallowed softly. It was indeed true, she went back to him after witnessing the deformity but he shouldn’t forget how terrified she was. She slowly took her hand away and expressed hesitantly, “Oh Messieur…I…would be careful at whom you are giving your expression of gratitude. I was terrified at first and…” But Quade interrupted her.

“I understand that my sweet Annabel, but allow me to explain my reasoning. It is time to tell the story.”
