Music Recommendation: Watching Ulla- Alexandre Desplat

—

When the carriage returned to Skellington, Eve asked Mr. Briggs to stop the carriage near the local carriage stop of the town. 

Mr. Briggs pulled the reins of the horses to stop it, and Eve stepped down from the carriage with her belongings. Before Mr. Briggs closed the carriage door, Allie said in a small voice, 

"I will miss you." 

It was because Eve had an off day from her job the next day, allowing her to take time for herself. She offered a smile to the small vampiress, which had a hint of sadness as she said, "Me too, Allie. Please take care of yourself." The small vampiress quickly nodded. 

Eve's eyes then fell on Vincent, who, like her hadn't spared a word after getting into the carriage. His eyes met hers as if he had been watching her for quite some time. There was no humour in his eyes but a seriousness that she hadn't expected to form between them.
