Snippet #1536658

Alexandrea's hand comes up to her cheek to touch the spot he had kissed. Her expression showed confusion for an instant before she smoothed it back down into her calm facade and turned toward the manor. She took slow steps, moving carefully with her dress, as she glancedover her shoulder at the area they had been speaking.

She nodded stiffly at the guards as she re-entered the mansion. It only took her a few moments to make her way through the rooms, up the staircase and down the hall to her bedroom. Once there, she passed her large canopy bed and went to the window.

" Such a strange night.." She murmured to herself. She stared out into the night for only a moment, thinking of the man she had met this very night, before she closed the curtains. Dawn would be here soon and she couldn't take the chance, especially if there was a plan beginning on how to end the war.
