Thank you very much, CatT!

Author's note #2: This chapter is from Seraphina's point of view

Sharing a meal with Nox was nerve-wracking and the soft music that was playing from who-knows-where was not helping.
Maria put an effort to make this romantic, but in this case, I would prefer if sounds from a football game were blasting. It would give me and Nox something to talk about that's not us.
We kept the chat light, mostly about the weather and the food, and Nox didn't do anything extreme or inappropriate, but the way he looked at me was stirring the butterflies in my stomach and I felt guilty about it.
What would Duke say if he knew that Nox excites me to this point?
Wait! Was I attracted to a creature I met only days ago?
