Mom’s smile fell entirely then, and she took a step closer. “Annette, listen. There is something I must tell you

The doorbell rang, interrupting her. It had to be Ian. It was exactly the time he had said he would arrive, and he was incredibly punctual.

“That’s him,” I said, standing. “Whatever you have to say, I’m sure it can wait…?” I looked to Mom and waited for her to answer, but I was already mostly turned toward the door.

She seemed frozen a moment, and then she sighed. “Yes. It can wait.” I thought she was done then and started to walk out, but she caught my arm at the last moment, before I could fully move out of her reach.

“Annette, above all. Just try to have some fun tonight, alright? You deserve it.”

I turned my head and gave her a half-smile. She was acting kind of weird, and I didn’t want to worry her more than she was already worrying.

“I’ll be okay, Mom,” I said.

She let me go then, and I walked into the foyer where the servants had already let in Ian.

At the theater, I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the old building. I was certain I’d never been in this building before, which seemed strange, since it was only one pack over to the east, which wasn’t all that far at all from my family’s estate.

I couldn’t stop staring at the intricate masonry of the pillars that lined down the sides of the auditorium, or the detailed mural painted on the ceiling. Winged angels and cherubs danced around the clouds.

Ian held fast to my arm, leading me carefully and assuredly, guiding me as I gave into my distraction. He seemed pleased by this trust I was putting in him, and I was pleased to let him have it. Maybe, in our quiet moments, was how we would work the best.

“Do you like it here?” he asked me, a hint of a smile on his lips and in his voice.

“I do,” I replied. “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“Good,” he said. “I’m glad I got to be the one to show it to you.”

He led me to a row about halfway up the auditorium floor, in the front forward section. “Here,” he said, the guided me to seats near the center.

As we sat down, I felt he was staring at me, so I turned to meet his gaze. He didn’t look away.

“What is it?” I asked him.

“You have a beautiful smile,” he said. “I hope to see more of it.”

I didn’t know how that made me feel. I blushed, but it was more out of awkwardness and embarrassment than

enjoyment.

“Um, thanks,” I said, and looked away.

Damien’s POV

The box seat had a great view of the entire theater, but especially the stage, and since I’d bought out the entire box, we didn’t have to share it with anyone. This gave my girls some freedom to move around if they grew anxious.
