The silver haired princess

Invite him

-Right there. Mei said, pointing to a large, beautiful modern house.

Nick drove over there and stopped the bike.

-Your house is huge. Nick said with his mouth open.

-Thank you, I worked really hard to get it, do you want to take a look? Said Mei pointing to the gate.

-No, thanks Mei; but it's too late and I can't be separated from Velvet for too long, some other time.

-Sure...b-but.... (Ask him to lunch; don't be shy.)

-Is something wrong?

-Would you like to come to lunch? Mei spoke, wanting to hear the answer right away.

-I'd love to. Nick said with a smile showing his teeth.

-It's getting a little chilly; I'll get you a coat, wait for me.....

Mei was ready to go get the coat; but Nick grabbed her hand; they both looked at each other in surprise and there was a small awkward silence.

-I'm sorry Mei... it's just that... your ring is beautiful.

-My grandmother gave it to me when I turned fifteen; I'll go get your coat.

-Yes...

Mei opened the gate and went inside; meanwhile Nick was still uncomfortable about what happened.

-I was just going to stop him from bringing the coat; how embarrassing, I happily noticed the ring.

After a few minutes he came out with the black coat.

-Here you go. Mei handed him the coat and Nick put it on immediately.

-Thank you, but you?

-I'll be inside; I'll be waiting for you at 12:00 PM.

-I'll be there; I'll come with Velvet.

-Great! -She's so adorable.

-Yes she is; well it's time to go. Come on in now.

-Good night Nick.

-Good night Mei.

Nick waited for her to come in and then went home after some thought; when he arrived the clock read 12:03 AM; he went upstairs and saw Velvet fluttering and chirping in her cage.

-Did you miss me a lot, my little cherry? Nick said in a silly, childish voice.

Young Eragon went to bathe and then went to sleep; he had a long day.
