Getting to Know You

Julian was surprised by her invitation. He felt that Rayne was too kind for her own good. If he were a man with no morals, she would have invited disaster into her home. Julian felt a pang of unease; he didn't like the thought of her getting into danger because of her kindness.

"I will graciously accept your kindness," he said, thanking her for the trouble. He still had time to kill before Damien made his move, so he figured, why not spend some time with Rayne? He was curious about her; something felt a little different about her.

She seemed very prepared, almost as if she had planned her trip here in advance. Either way, he wanted to make sure she was safe for as long as he could.

After their late lunch, Rayne cleaned up the table, pretending to bring the dirty dishes inside to wash them. As soon as she stepped through the door, she tossed them into the trash bin of her system.
