Chapter 128: A new friend (1)
Selene continued to show Xavier around the home but eventually needed to leave if she wanted to meet Francesca on time. She left with Lucas and Xavier who suddenly had business in town.
Selene grew accustomed to the attention she would get when she reached the town because of Xavier’s carriage. There was no way to hide her visit when riding around in the unique black carriage.
Xavier opened the carriage door for Selene and offered his hand to help her out.
Selene placed her hand on Xavier’s to get out and right away started to look for Francesca.
"There she is," Selene said, finding Francesca standing near a carriage. "Will I need to wait for you when I am done? Are we going home in the carriage together?"
"No, I will find my way home. Stay close to Lucas and don’t speak to strangers," said Xavier.
"I am not a child. I know to be alert in the town. You worry too much," Selene replied but she secretly appreciated it.
"I must worry since you seem to attract trouble. If anything happens, have Lucas send for me and I shall be here as soon as I can. Do not let her out of your sight," Xavier ordered Lucas.
Selene wished they could go somewhere out of sight so she could see how he flew around the town. Selene didn’t think he was lying to her but since she had never seen anyone fly, it was hard to imagine.
