Chapter 42: Date Night
*Mika*
Another day had passed of library research and rest. My body was finally starting to feel better, the exhaustion ebbing away the more I took care of myself. That was a relief, because I had been completely wiped out otherwise. I finally mustered up the courage to kick myself into gear. Making my way down the manor hall, I knocked on Percival’s door, biting my lip as blush tickled my cheeks.
“Come in,” the vampire said, to which I obliged. I dipped my head as I entered the room, gazing around at the familiar gothic style before fixing my eyes upon the vampire. He was currently in bed and reading, though his silver eyes rested on me as he put a bookmark into the work and closed it. Upon seeing me, he smiled, and I couldn’t help but notice a bit of blush on him, too.
