Alex chuckled at the curtsy, but it saddened him that his behaviour wasn't considered the norm anymore. The fact that it warranted such a reply was a rather saddening fact. He inhaled deeply as the scent of petrichor filled the air. He loved the fresh scent of a storm. He followed Victoria outside and was instantly soaked again. He had dried a little in the cafe, but within seconds his hair was soaked and his clothes were beginning to stick to his skin. He looked at Victoria, catching her watching him. He smiled to himself a little before they began walking. He liked Victoria, and he sometimes felt himself feeling something similar to romantic feelings for her, but he wouldn't let those take hold. He was a vampire, of course he couldn't date her. Especially considering that, one day, she'd find out his secret. And, of course, even if she didn't, he would have to leave before she noticed he wasn't aging.
