Zenia finally came face to face with Vaughn in the study. He locked the door as soon as she entered. He quickly removed his mask and walked to Zenia to kiss her.
"Don't even try it," Zenia blocked Vaughn's attack with her four fingers.
"Why not? When I wake up this morning you're already nowhere to be found," Vaughn pouted like a child.
Zenia was beginning to think that Vaughn had been deceiving his people for so many years. She couldn't imagine that the man before her was the same fierce man that the servants in the palace had described.
"You might erase my makeup, and it's difficult to re-do it. We need to be careful."
Vaughn kissed the top of Zenia's head and whispered, "I miss you."
Zenia pinched his cheeks, "I miss you too, but I'm working now. Can you give me a day pass?"
"Oh, I forgot about that."
