Sofia sighed as she looked over them, she tried to hide the sad look in her eyes as she bit her lip. “I can’t keep living a secret. Constantly lurking behind closed doors. It’s stressful and I refuse to keep my love a secret.” She stated as she took a deep breath. “I.. I do love you, but I can’t.. it’s not fair.” She mumbled and shook her head. 

Sofia was sat in a group on the floor with a group of other people from the party and laughed as someone shared an embarrassing experience. She watched as the bottle spun and landed on the person beside her, though her eyes drifted to the person sitting across from her. She was a little nervous about what her truth or dare could be, but she knew she would go through with it. Her bottom lip was tucked between her teeth as she pulled her eyes away from the person and she looked down at her fingers, only being pulled from her thoughts when someone called her name. She looked up and blushed as she reached for the bottle to spin it. She could feel her hands get clammy as she spun the bottle. “Please.. please..” She whispered as she watched it spin. 

Sofia walked into the christmas party and bit her lip as she approached her agent and the group of people she was talking to. She smiled as she looked around the room, scanning for anyone she might know or want to talk to. She mumbled a couple of hello’s as she slowly started to wander around the party as she tried to avoid any business talk and possibly enjoy herself at a work party for once. She let out a small sigh as she approached the refreshment table.

It was late-- or maybe early depending on your perspective-- when the bell above the door rang, signaling a customer entering the book shop. Her shift was nearly over, but she had time to help one person out if they needed it. She offered a small smile at the stranger. “Lookin’ for anythin’ specific? Or just browsin’?”

She’s usually better at noticing her surroundings. After a century and a half as a vampire, she really ought to be. And yet, she doesn’t see the other person in the alley as she shifts back into a more human form until it’s much too late. She jumps when she spots them and she knows if she were still among the living, her heart would be beating like mad. “I, uh, didn’t see ya there, darlin’.”
