"So, you are about to see your twenty-fourth spring? No wonder…"
Adela turned her head slightly to stifle a smile as she walked, the young man's eager attitude was so refreshing yet completely out of context.
She kept her gaze fixed forward, "…No wonder?"
The young man had a light smile as he continued to admire Adela's effect on him.
"It is so comfortable to be around you,"
She did not feel the same way, not when Egon von Conradie and his uncle who made the fact that he disliked her so obvious the second they met continued to walk a few steps behind her.
"Lady Adelaide… Did I get your name right? What a beautiful name,"
Adela blushed waving her hands too many a time, "Please…Call me Adela,"
"Adela?"
Heat spread from her cheeks to the rest of her face and down to her neck, she could not fathom the stranger's ability nor his ease in addressing her so casually.
She managed to nod at him.
