"Indeed," Kerr answered shortly, using the one word as a blanket agreement to all her giddy suppositions.  Yes, they were predictably based on her love of history, of artefacts, but there was more there and he had his answer now.  It would take him a while to come to terms with the loss of her adoration (despite recognising his own selfishness in the matter), so he couldn\'t be immediately happy to realise that all her physical reactions, all her excitement was no longer directed at him.
 
Jenna was interested in Sebastian and he was certain it was for more than just his momentos.
 
"Perhaps when he visits you again, you can ask him, he remarked blandly, having no doubt from Sebastian\'s questioning, complimenting and gazing at Jenna that the vampire would return her interest eagerly.  Quite suddenly, he couldn\'t bear thinking on it just then, though.  "Now, where do you want to eat tonight?  Will the entertainment complex rstaurant e acceptable or should we find you somewhere else?" he queried, forcing a smile as he changed the subject and looked down at her.  She was right there, but all he could see was her slipping away.

How blind she\'d been.  She was horrified that Kerr had seen her so plainly, that he recognised her ridiculous attraction to Sebastian.  Of course he was disappointed in her, she was a hypocrite.  She\'d given him a hard time while he\'d been attempting to court her, and was now throwing herself at this elderly vampire who she knew nothing about spare his age.  She\'d thought the mention of Sebastian\'s visit to her was merely a dig and nothing more.  Deservedly so.

"Symphony," she reminded him of the restaurant name, "will be fine.  It\'s been a while since I dined there with such grand company," she said, snuggling herself closer to Kerr and looking up at him with the most charming smile she could muster.

She was determined to put Sebastian out of her mind for the rest of the evening, and she almost managed it.
