Sebastian was looking around the town for Josephine. He asked various people that he passed if they had seen anyone that matched her physical features. The answer was yes on a few occations, but it always led Sebastian to a dead end, for she was no where to be found.
Sebastian was narrowing where to search for her in his head. As he was thinking, someone had spontaneously bumped into him.
"My apologies." a feminine voice responded. That being said, the woman quickly walked off. So quick in fact that Sebastian didn't even get a glimpse of her face. Her voice was familiar though and so was the ebony hair that swept past him in the blink of an eye. It was Josephine.
He dodged the passing people agilely as he tried to get to Josephine. She seemed to be running. As Sebastian got closer to her, he quickly caught her wrist. She looked back, frightened.
"Josephine?"
"Sebastian?" she questioned, unable to believe who was standing before her. "What's wrong?"
He slowly let go of her wrist and straightened his posture.
"The young master wishes to see you. He has heard that you have been seen out and about town for a while and wishes to know if the rumors are true. He asks that you..."
"I will not go." Josephine cut him off.
Sebastian's eyes widened with surprise and then shifted in skepticism.
"What is your reasoning?"
"There is no need to explain my problems to you." she politely stated.
"The young master asks me to not take no for an answer. My apologies, but I have to follow my master's orders."
Without her say in the matter, Sebastian already had her seated in the carriage. She didn't even have a chance to be surprised by the sudden change in surroundings. The carriage was already moving. She narrowed her eyes in anger and annoyance.
"Sebastian, you are cruel." she stated in a flat tone.
He turned his gaze to her face, his expression amused. Her arms were folded over her chest while she stared out the window in disapproval.
