One of the servants handed her a letter. She blinked as she turned it over. There was nothing on it except a wax seal. Heading upstairs she noted also that Sophie had been delivered. Judging by the time as it was already quite late in the evening she must be asleep. Once she was in her office she opened the letter, surprised it was from Judith of all people and began to read.
Kiara,
My Brother is a fragile man, he is not one to speak his mind as we both know well. He is not the man that I once knew, he is gone. The man that is my brother is a vampire of few words, but he loves you like he once loved me. Take care of him, protect him, guard his un-dead heart. You’re all he truly has, protect what belongs to you, and revel in the rewards as I once have. You have my blessing.
Judith
Kiara sat down, feeling herself weep. “Dammit Judith…why you…” she whispered. After everything that had happened, the empty ache inside it had taken someone like Judith to remind her that she loved Bill, loved him more than anyone before. Now the guilt of having nearly slept with Quinn hit her even harder. She sighed. She had to come clean with Bill… maybe… maybe then he’d come clean with her.
She placed the letter away in a safe spot and ensured that her new anti-glamour contacts Quinn had given her were in place. They covered her whole eye and were undetectable even at close range. They took some getting used to but with some eye drops they fit comfortably. She stood and took a breath of courage. Either this would be the end… or just another obstacle to strengthen their relationship.
She chuckled darkly. At least right now she had no worries about being brought back if Bill went crazy and killed her. Neither Jessica nor Quinn were around to meddle in that regard. She put some eyedrops on, did one last sniff test to ensure all she smelled like was a faint scent of citrus and new clothes and headed back downstairs. She just assumed Bill would be in his office. It was where he secluded himself for the past few days after all.
