She was laughing, carefree, at something Viktor said. Her eyes danced in the embers of the fire behind her. Loose tendrils fanned her face, but she ignored them.

She had the beauty of a creature yet extinct, a unicorn or a fairy or something equally flawless.

Also, if you like this series so far, please review with any ideas or pairings, or even constructive criticism. It really encourages me and makes me feel like I actually have people who enjoy my stories.
