After concluding her own outing during the day, Ashlynn's second 'date night' with Nyrielle involved a more subdued visit to a musical performance that the vampire referred to as a 'symphony.' There were even more musicians than at the opera but thankfully for Ashlynn's troubled heart, the performance lacked a distinct narrative. Beautiful music could be enjoyed for its own sake.
The dinner that followed was luxurious but even Nyrielle could tell that her lover's heart wasn't in it. Their previous evening had been too intense and they were both holding themselves back from going too far tonight.
For Ashlynn, the memory of teetering on the edge of a dark abyss as Nyrielle fed on her was far to fresh. For Nyrielle, it had been even worse. As Ashlynn had once surmised, there had been times in the past when Nyrielle lost control while feeding and killed people she hadn't intended to.
