Victoria listened to the banter between the former fiancée’s. It was clear they were good friends to tolerate such comments from one another. It eased her a little when Sylvie referred her to as Vail’s lover. It showed she had accepted that fact and she didn’t seem to regard Victoria in any sort of disdain since learning of Vail’s affections for her. She chortled as Vail softly insulted the woman at not being that noble a person. She had forgotten how dry Vail’s humour could be.

As Sylvie addressed Victoria at saving her from marrying Vail, she blinked. “You’re welcome?” She didn’t really do anything to help Sylvie out specifically but indirectly she had just by capturing Vail’s heart. Although it did not stop Peter from wanting his son to marry Sylvia Macey. Again their banter made her chuckle as Vail jested at Sylvie again for tuning her out and Sylvie called him an arse. “I like her.” Victoria smiled amusedly at Vail as she approached them and linked arms with her.

“Oh? I guess I am part of the vampire collective now… It is going to take some getting used to. And I have a lot of female vampire related questions, so I am glad to have one as a friend.” Victoria stated as she walked with them both out of the bedroom. She leaned a little on Sylvie’s arm to stabilise herself as she walked through her aunt’s house. She had yet to see her Aunt Gillian but it could wait since she was a human and at risk around vampires. “All the vampires I know seem to be male…except for Vail’s mother but I am not entirely sure I will be in her good books right now…” she was anxious to see what Katherine’s reaction to her was going to be. After all she could blame the Crest heiress for bringing the Wynter’s to their door and for what happened to Peter. 

They made their way to the summer house where the Hygrace clan had taken refuge to lick their wounds. As soon as they entered, their eyes were upon Victoria, they knew instantly something different about her. She was shocked to see the state of Peter, a shell of his former self. Her eyes sparkled gently with sympathy as they gazed upon Vail’s family. She softly squeezed Vail’s arm she was linked around, showing no sign of backing away from her lover and showing her solidarity and loyalty to him.
