276 Brewing doubts and troubles

While Eve was in the kitchen, she heard three sharp knocks on the main door before another three knocks followed it. Wiping her wet hands against the small towel, she found Eugene standing in front of the closed main door, making no attempt to open it. 

"Eugene?" Eve called him, and he snapped out of his thoughts, not realising the seconds that had passed since he stood there. 

Eugene quickly opened the door and bowed, greeting the person, "Good evening, Miss Hooke."

Rosetta's hand was on her hair, and once the door opened, she quickly brought it to her side. She asked, "Has Eve returned home yet?" Eve stepped into the young vampiress's view, and the young vampiress turned excited on seeing her. "Eve, when did you get back?!" She quickly stepped inside the house and hugged her. 

Eve hugged Rosetta back, and they finally stepped away. Eve answered, "An hour ago. I just finished unpacking my trunk."
