As soon as he walked through the door of number 7 Chancellors, Mitchell knew where Anna was and was relieved she was home. He quickly hung up his leather jacket and locked the front door, while he felt the tug of her grace upstairs. There wasn’t much need for him to call out, he was sure Anna had already felt and heard him enter the house, but he still shouted up to her.
“Anna?” Pulling something from his pocket, a flash of a small white box, the vampire quickly hid it behind his back as he went up the stairs to their room.
“You’re home!” she called down to him happily. Anna abandoned the tome she had been sitting on the bed deciphering. There was tinkling laughter followed by a flash of red hair on the uppermost landing. She glided down the stairs from their master suite, meeting Mitchell halfway at the second landing. Her eyes drank in the sight of him, a smile curving her lips and her grace bubbling with joy at his presence.
Within moments she noticed his arms were looped behind his back. She tried to peek around him to see what was behind him. The narrow landing coupled with his muscular shoulders prevented her from sneaking a peek. Her eyes crinkled in soft confusion. “What do you have there?” she asked curiously and dipped her head, indicating behind his back.
