Thoughts

Vera blinked and thought that maybe she was just shocked into freezing up or something. She then looked at the man before her. She could tell that he was unhappy with what she had said, but she did not know why. As she tried to take another step backward, her body did not respond as she expected. She was truly frozen! Was it this man – she had heard Azrael call him Gideon earlier – that was responsible for causing this? Her heartbeat suddenly picked up, worrying if she had just inadvertently gotten herself out of one sticky situation and into another one. It was not long that she was being chased after by the disgusting viscount and then finally managing to be rid of him, courtesy of Gideon, of course.
