Eleanor spoke, reminiscing about the events that took place in the very same space and table.
Reinhardt shook his head. "It's all thanks to your efforts. I simply trusted your talent".
The dinner continued, and conversation flowed. a mix of politics, art, and subtle, veiled flirtation between Reinhardt, Melissa, and Eleanor.
Boulevard participated in the political discussions, his mind on duty and the task he was given by the royal family.
While he kept boasting, the other three shared glances, touches, and words loaded with meanings he could not decipher.
Melissa, throughout the meal, felt the persistent, warm trickle. It was a constant reminder of the physical connection she shared with Reinhardt earlier.
Later, as they parted, Boulevard spoke to Melissa.
