His eyes never left hers, hers never left his. Even though there was a moment when she wished he would leave so she might cry her eyes out.
"I have no need for it, I haven't since the day we met." She swallowed thickly, closing her eyes and looking away for the first time. "You take better care of it then I ever have." Her voice was low and remorse.
Regrets. She had few. What she had done to him had haunted her for more nights then she cared for. Selene always thought it would pass, fade....that she would forget the look in his eyes when he learned of her betrayal. But she never had. "Fate has placed it in your hands and there, good Knight, it shall remain."
There were many who would see her dead. Men along the way who she had used in some way or another. Men who laid claim to her only to learn they had no place and meant nothing. Being at the top meant there were many below you chopping at the rungs of the ladder to knock you down.
"Command supernatural things?"
Now she was more curious. Was this the work of the Ventrue prince? Or worse?
"Vanish?" She chuckled. "You of all men should know I will do no such thing."
Selene rose from her chair and came up behind him. Her fingers were laid across his shoulders lightly, barely a touch as she was still frightened of how he might react to her touch. "I saw you look at the box. Do you wish to see what is inside?"
