"She thought about him all the time - not so much about the individual, but rather about the nature of love, and the shock of learning how quickly it could disappear."
Walking into the Phantomhive mansion, [Name] couldn't help smiling at the thought that she would be meeting Ciel soon. The said Phantomhive was missing for a few months without a sign and the Phantomhive mansion was burnt down to ashes. [Name] wondered how they were able to rebuild the mansion so quickly, but brushed the thought aside. The only thing on her mind at the moment is Ciel.
As [Name] knocked on the front door, she took the liberty of observing the new decorations in the garden. All of them were ordinary and as expected to Ciel's taste, until two unique gnomes caught her eyes. One gnome has a butler uniform carved onto it, while the other one was somewhat shorter than the butler but has an eyepatch on. [Name] stood there wondering why Ciel would have those gnomes in the garden, she remembered how Ciel would tell her how much he loathes gnomes. The door slowly creaked open, [Name] turned around and saw a man who resembles the gnome in the garden.
She had never seen him before though she had been here often. 'Perhaps he's a new butler?'She thought.
"My lady [Surname], I am the Phantomhive's butler, Sebastian. The young master requests for you." Sebastian introduced himself and bowed to the petite woman.
"H-How did you know my name?"
"I shall lead you the way" Ignoring [Name]'s question, Sebastian started leading the way towards Ciel's location, [Name] had no choice but to follow him. While walking behind Sebastian, [Name] noticed how every trace of scratch were on the walls. It spooked her quite a little, remembering the fact that the house was supposed to be rebuilt not long ago. Soon they reached Ciel whose behind was shown to them. Overflowing with joyful emotions, [Name] ran up to Ciel and hugged him from behind.
"Ciel! It's so good to see you once again! Are you hurt anywhere? Where have you been?" [Name] shot a bunch of question at him but Ciel remained still, his eye was not focusing at [Name], instead staring straight forward. [Name] let go of Ciel slowly when she noticed that he was probably not paying attention to him, she walked in front of Ciel and waved her hand in front of his face, she noticed that his right eye has a patch on it.
"Ciel, what happened to your eye?" She brought up her hand to lift up the eye patch, but it was suddenly stopped by Ciel.
"My lady [surname], please refrain from touching me so casually." His azure optic looking at her so intensely, [Name] had to back away from him slowly. Ciel started to walk away from her, like she had no presence in his life anymore. It was only then, she realized, Ciel had forgotten all about her.
