Adrian walked into the library and settled down near the window. He didn't take up a book or had any intention of reading. He merely say there and became lost in his thoughts. He thought about the past few months. At what he had been doing, at what he had discovered. He mulled it over, trying to come up with the best course of plan. And then Alessandra floated into his mind. He realized that he had actually held his breath for her answer when he asked if she wanted to accept Adam's proposal. He shook his head and pushed all thoughts of her out of his head. 

Perhaps he should call on Henry, see what his thoughts are of the current unrest of the people. Maybe there was news of the border.

Alessandra's lips had been so soft against his. And that look she gave him when he first announced that he was back in the castle.

Adrian blinked and rubbed his temples. [color=00aeef][i]Ugh... I will not be able to accomplish anything if Alessandra keep occupying my mind.[/i][/color]
