[ModNote: Continued from A Surprise Letter.] *Catherine sighed loudly as she finished the cleaning of the floor the weather had been miserable the last few days as rain seemed to fall never ending from the sky. This was the third time in one days she was cleaning the floor on her hands and knees with a bucket of scented water and a small brush. The shop had just been closed for the day and she could thing of nothing better to do than get washed have something to eat and then go to slee but for now all that would have to wait.*

[ModNote: Continued from Returning to The Estate.] *Outside the shop a couch pulled up just out of sight of the shop window. Count Marcus Brinkatore got out from the couch and looked at the shop. He smiled to himself and turned to his couch driver.* "Quill I won't need the couch again tonight return to the Estate and then pick me up tommorow morning around 9am." {Quill} "See Senouri Count Brinkatore." *Quill craked the raigns and the couch trundled off into the night. Marcus then walked over to the shop and went round the back. He found the back door and knocked loudly.*

*Catherine turned her head slightly as the knock echoed through the shop. Throwing the brush into the bucket and standing up scowling she walked to the back door. Visitors was the last thing she wanted right now she though to herself as she opened the back door slowly.*

*However no one was there.*
*Marcus was playing a trick on his lover and had hidden just out of sight and was waiting for Catherine to walk outside for a better look.*
*When Catherine did come further out he slipped out of his hideing place and quietly behind her back slipped in threw the open door and into her lieving quaters. He sat himself down on the sofer and waited for her return.*

*Catherine muttered some very unlady like words as she looked around the empty way. Her patience was not at it's highest today. She quickly went back in slamming the door behind her and locking it then resumed finsihing cleaning the floor taking her frustration out on it.*
*After finishing she stood and stretched her arms out and headed up stairs grumbling but at least tomorrow was her day off. She frowned slightly noticing the door to her liveing quaters was open she slowly opened it wider then froze in surprise as she saw Marcus sitting on her sofa.*

*Catherine walked over to the sofa and sat downnext to him. Smiling but currently still lost for words she looked at him strangely then poked him lightly in the ribs wondering if she was actually already asleep and dreaming. Once her finger meets solid form she smiles more warmly*
Good evening Marcus, how long have you been back in town?

*Catherine quickly stands up and takes the one step towards Marcus raising her arms to put them around his waist before he can take another step but trips over her own feet in her rush causing her to fall to the floor dragging Marcus down with her, a small cry of surprise echoes around the room asshe hits the floor*

*Marcus Finds himself pinned under Catherine. He smiles teasingly up at her.*
"You know Catherine there are more suttler ways of getting a man's attention then just throwing yourself at him."
*Puts his arms around Catherine and pulls her close to him.*
"But this way works."

*The blush deepens and spreads down to her neck.*
It was a accident! I didn't do it on purpose!
*Her voice becomes slightly higher in tone as she proclaims her innocence in the matter.*
