It had been five weeks since Lady Gisela had re-entered Keefe Sencen's life without manipulative intentions. Two days since she had stopped carrying her shields. Eight hours since she had showed the first signs of affection.
Keefe looked up as heels tapped the burnished hardwood floors, face lighting up despite his neglectful mother. Lady Gisela swept into the empty ballroom, gazing appraisingly over the deep maroon carpet. Bronze filigree adorned balefire sconces, the iridescent blue light enchanting the space.
