    “ Is that so? ”

      Annie smiles, retracting their hand a bit. Second meetings
      with the heiress were almost always turned down – they
      hated dragging others into their strange, drama filled life.
      Today, however, Annie was suffering from the same ailment
      he was. There was a warmth in his smile and youth to his
      spirit that made him terribly hard to forget.

    “ I suppose we could delay our final goodbye an hour or two. ”

      Annie didn’t want to be the one to suggest they exchange
      numbers or meet up tomorrow – it was too embarrassing.
      But perhaps this would be a fine compromise. At the end,
      maybe they’d work up the courage to plan another meetup.

Alfred’s smile widened when the woman agreed to delay the goodbye for a few more hours, it would give him some time to get to know her, and maybe even exchange numbers. He thought about it, but considering his ––– work, he had to be careful about the humans he surrounded himself with. Countries were always easier because they would meet and be forced to interact at some point in time, but humans were frail. They had other things to attend to, they were on borrowed time and not everyone knew of the existence of countries.
