"Today, will you come into town?" he asked. "If you get bored here, you can go sightseeing. Just bring Lila with you."
"Oh…"
Sylene hesitated.
He'd thought about following the vampire—but Regina's specialty tea surfaced in his mind instead. The peach one. He'd heard it was fragrant and light. He also wanted to see Miranda, but...he didn't know where she is...
And then—
Michel.
The address hidden inside the stuffed lion keychain.
"…Alright, sir," Sylene said after a moment. "I won't go far from the hotel. Maybe… I'll visit some friends."
Melchior nodded once more, already moving on, his attention slipping back to whatever awaited him next.
And Sylene was left standing there, heart still unsteady—trying very hard not to think about the warmth he hadn't meant to remember so clearly.
At first, Sylene thought about peach tea.
But he had no idea where to find the best one in town.
