The following night, Nicholas asked the butler to set dinner at his patio in his room.
Heidi who arrived at the lord's room, stepped inside to see Nicholas waiting for her outside at his patio with his back facing her. When Nicholas had asked her to dress for the night, the first thought that came into her head was that they were visiting or attending a party but surprisingly it was a dinner night with the lord in a more private setting. Like her, he was dressed too. She could feel her heartbeat with every step she took towards him and it stopped beating when he returned her smile with his own. There was no one else in the room but them and the beautiful night accompanying them right now.
