Arlia was at a loss. It was as if that one kiss managed to take her breath, and mind, away. Gasping softly, she quickly smiled and replied, "Thank you, Nigel. I bid you a good night for now. Let us meet again at a better time." Nodding her head politely, she entered her room and closed the door behind her, but as soon as Nigel was out of earshot, she gasped and slumped onto the floor. "[i]Dio...[/i]" she dreamily mused, placing her hand on her cheek where Nigel's kiss had made its mark. Smiling with joy, Arlia knew that he would stay in her mind for a long, long time.
