[Heidi]

I was rather intrigued by your idea of adding a Haunted House to the Halloween party. I was wondering if you'd like to help me put the event together? I would very much enjoy your help!

Do you have anything you wish to tell me, dearest?

[Private]

Well, talking to him about it certainly backfired. Am I that much of a doormat that I'm not pissed? Besides our love making though--this was the most passionate reaction I've ever gotten out of him. He was really...mad. I won't let it upset me though. Couples fight, they argue and they get over it. Look at Mistress Sulpicia and Master Aro. Look at Master Caius and Mistress Athenodora. We will get through this. I love him too much.

Before the first...separation...being spoken too in such a manner would have made me smack him. But...that first abandonment nearly killed me--and I lost a part of who I was. I love my mate. I do not wish to fight with him. I wish he and Corin could get along, but like Corin said, this is reality, not a fairy tale. I'll never like Demetri and he will never like Corin.

I have no doubt he's driving around Mistress Sulpicia. He probably told me to rub some salt into some wounds. He succeeded..somewhat. I know her interest is not in him, but I cannot help but be about as fond of her as she is of me at this moment. She needs to stay away from my man. It's almost as if she knows what I've done.

Maybe I'll go visit Heidi now, get the party preparations in order.
