Early in the next morning, Arabella convinced Ada to go get breakfast while she got ready on her own before Silas' arrival.
It revealed a good initiative as the vampire came by right when they have both taken the last bites of their meal. Arabella had insisted Ada sit down to eat with her.
She also wished to help clean the table, but the maid had to firmly decline as Silas already stood at the door.
"Would you like to go on another horse ride?"
That was the very first question he'd asked.
The already meek smile on her faded further, "Oh… I… My horse-riding clothes were torn at various parts,"
"We need to find a way to prevent your clothes from shredding every time things get difficult," he made a reference to the ball gown that Mr Kallum had tailored for her.
Arabella did not seem to find that particularly funny but still grimaced her best attempt at a grin.
Making her smile turned out just as hard of a task as the vampire expected it to be.
