Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view
- - -
I thought that being seen crying by Lazarus was bad, but then I realized that there are other people present in the room also!
Other than Maria, there was another man next to Lazarus, and Vesper was still on my left. They all watched me sob in Aldus's embrace and I was not sure if their conflicting expressions were because of my sorry state, or because Aldus held me and allowed me to ruin his shirt. Probably both.
This must be the perfect example of showing my ugly side to others.
It would be a miracle if after this Lazarus still wants to take me on a date. I was not craving for that date, but I wanted to preserve the little dignity I had.
The only thing that made it bearable was that my face was hidden in Aldus's chest and they couldn't see me. But they definitely heard my sobs.
