Questioning the decision- Part 3

Her beating heart reminded him of a delicate sparrow. When they got closer and were about to cross each other's path, he smelt the scent of sweet roses, and his eyes narrowed. It was familiar and peculiar at the same time, and he wanted to inhale more of it. 

Not wanting to see her leave, his hand pulled the handkerchief that was peeking out of her hand, and he turned around. 

Calhoun said to the beautiful girl in a beige dress, "Fair lady...I think you dropped your kerchief."

Her eyes were innocent, and her delicate lips parted when he raised the handkerchief for her to see. He doubted she was going to be just prey for him.

After they had met with a fair share of people, Theodore noticed how Calhoun disappeared, and it made him wonder what the King was up to tonight.
