[The loud, heavy click of the door's lock makes her stomach flip, and she just listens to his voice and his footsteps draw near as she sets down the brush. She is a bit surprised when he stops behind her and she doesn't see him in the mirror at first... that is, she doesn't like that she can't see him. She'd given him some vampiric abilities, and this one she'd rather do away with, so there's a small ripple before his image appears in the reflection behind her.

And the sight makes her breath catch.

She hadn't seen him yet in that outfit—not since the first Halloween—and if he's watching her, he'll spot the way that she lets her eyes rove over him in the mirror, drinking in the sight of them together, her pulse racing ever faster.]

What's that supposed to mean? I... stumbled across this place trying to find my way back... I just wanted to get home, but then the storm came.

[There's a roll of thunder outside that makes her shiver.]
