Thankfully, Mauve was able to get cleaned up in time for the second meal. She couldn't believe Jael had done that in his study and going along with it says a lot about her which was concerning. She was also very worried about who was behind the door when it happened.
Mauve palmed her face as she recalled the incident. She wouldn't be able to look anyone in the eye. It didn't help that her neck was littered with bite marks, but at least Jael didn't go overboard this time. It wasn't in such a visible place that she would need a scarf to hide it, but if one looked closely, they could see it. She just hoped the candles weren't bright enough.
"Mauve, your hands," Mill said.
"Oh, sorry," she apologized with a smile as she pulled her hand from her face. She blushed lightly as Mill added a little color to her cheeks.
