I looked to her I was about to tell her what she wanted, it had been four years but, then she said something I hadn't expected. Any other of the denizens would more than have loved one of the girls to practically offer themselves in such a way but, I was not them. I did this out of need not want. I was doing this for my true love and to return to her arms. I nodded to Violett while I held back tears knowing what I was going to do to the poor girl. no matter how many times I did this it was getting no easier for me to bear though I was starting to grasp how little choice I had. I'd already explored other options and this was all that worked.

"It's hard to believe that miss, you're a beautiful young woman."

I comforted her smiling softly and nodding to her with my eyes half lidded.

Violett smiled, delirious with joy, clinging to the Professor's arm like a drowning woman to a life preserver.

"Yeah," she cooed delightedly. "You'll be the first."
