The sun had risen for quite some time, almost at the time for it to reach its peak. As the sun soared high and bright, it was finally time for us to leave Gordom. Our unexpected visit to the neighboring land was coming to an end, and this was my last chance to admire the beauty of the manor before leaving.
We were standing by the front door, waiting for our carriage, when the two vampire siblings joined us. Both Kiel and Kiera came to see us off, wishing for our safe return.
"How come you are leaving so soon?" the question came from Kiera to Luke, with the vampiress pretending not to notice that I was there beside him. "You should stay for a few more days," said Kiera, a pout on her face.
Despite her displeasure about the humiliation that she had to endure at the vampire ball, she must have forgiven Luke by the forlorn expression on her face upon hearing the news of our departure—I mean, Luke's departure.
