Helen couldn't help but feel herself blush as she read that. Of all the times she'd "accidentally" done something in Nikola's presence, she honestly had thought he'd been asleep at that very moment he was mentioning.
She couldn't help but to remember that particular night; the previous few days had been so exhausting and tedious and the night was refreshingly cool. Helen had been getting ready to have a bath when she instead turned and stepped outside, feeling the cold air on her heated skin soothing the harsher portions of her day away.
Looking back, it was very good Helen hadn't known Nikola could see her. She had little doubt that if she had known she'd have tossed a look over her shoulders to her Serbian friend that would have sent him scrambling over the railing attempting to bridge the gap between them.
Seeing as how he hadn't been a vampire yet, that could have ended poorly.
Most likely it would have ended with her pulling him into her room and instead of a hot bath before bed she'd have had a hot night.
And that would have made the wake-up call the following morning very awkward indeed.
