Zorran didn't hear the footsteps. He was thinking. His thoughts travelled back to his home, years ago. He remembered every detail...
Zorran walked into the kitchen and saw Gwendolyn and he smiled and crept up on her. He snapped both of his fingers in her ears and she jumped and whirled around. "Zorran!" she breaths. "Why do you do that?!" she tried to scowl, but Zorran knew she was about to smile.
He grinned. "Your reaction is always funny, that's why"
Gwendolyn laughed then and kissed his cheek. "I'm glad I amuse you. How is Lutherin?"
"Fine as ever. You know, planning world domination, the holocaust of the vampires, same old"
"That man will never chan..." but she was interrupted as he kissed her.
He pulled away from his dream. He knew it was unwise to linger on the past. Lutherin told him so. It makes him weak. He sighed again and rubbed the back of his neck.
