Chapter 22: Return of the little demon.

Philip stepped into the carriage after Vivian. He turned to Sire who was standing outside. She'd escorted them to their carriage.

"I believe this is farewell milady. Please remain as bright as the first time I ever met you. Read enough of the books in the library and I do hope to meet you next time I pass by. It was my pleasure meeting you." He bowed lightly.

Sire returned the bow with a polite smile. "The pleasure was all mine."

Philip's lips quirked but he didn't smile. He watched as she waved Vivian lightly. His eyes taking in one more image of that smile of hers he strangely thought was beautiful..

Sire watched the carriage till it was out of sight. She would head back inside now. Not that she had any idea what she would do but she would think of that when she got in. It was quite upsetting that Vivian was out on a trip now that she'd come to visit.
