Heartless

"Will I ever get to know who you are?" She asked him "This takes a lot of self-control you know."
"I know ma chère and I am surprised at how you managed to last so long." He replied seeming amused.
"Don't evade the question." She scolded him and he let out a surprised laugh and she thought it might have been one of the most beautiful sounds she had ever heard. His deep voice was like silk wrapped steel and his laughter was deep and beautiful.
She almost turned around right there.
"Soon ma chère, I would show you who I am right now but you wouldn't think the same of me again after you recognize me." He told her softly.
"As long as you're not Allister, I seriously doubt that." She replied and he chuckled again. He didn't realize that after a long time, he had laughed this freely. He hadn't laughed like this in five years.
"Soon ma chère." He promised and she sighed.
"Alright, tell me your story." She told him sitting back on the edge of the balcony.
"My story?" He asked her bewildered.
"Yeah, well you know everything about me and I won't ask for the man who everyone else knows but I want to know who you are." She told him drinking the rest of her champagne.
