168 Back to work

On reaching the Moriarty mansion, Eve walked straight to the piano room. Keeping her things aside, she pulled out the book from the rack that she would be teaching Allie today. 

When the young vampiress appeared at the door, seeing Eve, her eyes widened, and she quickly ran to where Eve was before crashing against her legs and putting her arms around Eve. 

"And I am very excited to see you too," Eve chuckled, noticing how Allie didn't pull away from her for five seconds.
