Bab 355: The Darkest Hour (1)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

Bayswater is an attractive cobblestoned neighborhood in London, lined with tall Victorian townhomes that offer on the street level a vast variety of eateries, independent shops, and galleries.

Duke and I had a late dinner in an Italian restaurant and then walked the streets while holding hands.

I was wearing a dark blue dress with a snug bodice, and a skirt that flared up to my knees. Duke picked that for me in the mall earlier that day. He wore black dress pants and a dark blue dress shirt. The colors were matching, making it look like couple's outfits.

"This is something I wanted to do with you.", Duke said and lifted my hand to his lips before adding, "Late night walk on the streets of London after dinner."

I smiled at his words while he kissed my knuckles. It seems that today each of us got one of our fantasies to come to life.
