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

Lazarus left the sunroom, and I took the spiky measuring device from my pocket.
Measurements for the last half an hour didn't go above seven.
I expected something like this. Other than the slight anxiety when he was standing at the door and watching me in silence, I was not afraid of Lazarus.
I was comforted by the safety this villa provides, knowing that Aldus is nearby and I'm ready for the next stage. After lunch.
My sight fell on the extravagant bouquet of roses and chocolates and I was worried. Why did Lazarus look so smitten?
I hoped that with my pheromones in control, Lazarus will end whatever infatuation he has with me, but unfortunately, Aldus was right.
