I tilted my head, trying to think of a good name for the female monkey currently curled up on my shoulder.
I already excused myself from the study room out of embarrassment.
'What was I thinking?' I winced in memory of my actions before Saint Germain. 'He's a count! I shouldn't be acting like that in front of him!'
Then again...he didn't seem to mind the way I behaved.
Even though he taught me the rules of gentlemen etiquette.
I sighed. 'I really need to become more self aware of what I'm saying to people like Monsieur Germain.'
Otherwise I'll never have an equal footing with Howie.
Just as I walked down the hallway to my room, there were sounds of loud thumping.
I slowly glanced my head toward the source of the sound.
My eyes widened in bewilderment.
'Is that a suit of armor?!' I rubbed both my eyes, wondering if I'm seeing things.
But instead of the seeing the suit of armor, all I saw was an empty hallway. "I think I'm tired."
Trying to think of the perfect name for my partner was beginning to tire me out.
