"Wonderful. Come inside. Your father is in his study," Nora told Elias.
"I didn't expect him to be anywhere else," Elias smirked before glancing at Alyssa. "My father is a workaholic."
"It's definitely paid off," Alyssa said, admiring the expansive foyer as she stepped into the house.
A lot of the décor was red and gold Oriental designs, adorning the walls and various shelves.
There was an old air to the house, which Alyssa chalked up to Elias' parents probably being vampires too and being on the planet for a while.
"Sit. I'll make some tea and get your father," Nora told them as she gestured to the leather couch in the large living room.
Alyssa thanked her before sitting down next to Elias, wiping her damp palms against her black skirt.
She almost still felt underdressed here because the house was so fancy and clean. It was also quiet, but she heard soft music playing from somewhere in the house.
