That looks refreshing."

The voice almost made him fall into the lake. He regained his balance as he tried to focus on the owner of the voice. He saw a woman to his left dressed in a flowing cerulean ombré dress. The front of her article was a few inches above her knees, revealing her swarthy satiny legs. Her skin seemed to glow in the moonlight. Her brunette hair was in long ringlets that floated in the gentle breeze. She offered an apologetic smile, holding her hands as if she was trying to steady him through psychokinetic effort.

"Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." Thor heard her American accent and wondering what brought her here.

Thor nervously chuckled. "No...I just thought I was alone."

"Sorry," she repeated again. The woman looked at the huge edifice behind them.

"Parties aren't my thing. I thought I'd take a walk break."

Thor smiled as he studied the curious guest. "What brought you here then?"

"I'm a plus one. My friend was invited and knows how much I love stately homes. It's a beautiful place. Figured why not come."

Thor observed the woman as she spoke. She's beautiful. The night's shadows created a mystique that only entranced him more. The Moon offered enough light that drew his attention to her strong and feminine frame. She was shorter but met his face by a few inches. Probably five foot ten or eleven. He took into account that she was wearing heels.

The woman noticed Thor staring and chuckled nervously. "I'm sorry. I never introduced myself," She placed her hand over her heart. "I'm Amara Gawoni."

She stepped forward with her hand outstretched. Thor walked up to meet her hand. "Thor Siegmund."
