Theodosia replied softly, "Nothing but yourself, darling," daring to add the sweet word quite boldly. She wished it was her toying with Christine's collar, but reminded herself that soon, she could be. Theodosia ran her hand down her arm in what she hoped was a tantalizing manner as Christine spoke further and her smile turned as coy as the bookstore owner's had a moment prior. At Christine's wink, Theodosia just couldn't resist and brushed her fingers against Christine's but took a step back at the same time, holding the book in her other hand. "Indeed," she replied, her voice so soft it could barely be heard. She backed toward the door, not breaking eye contact, and added, "Au revoir," with a wink. She turned to open the door and did so smoothly, exiting the store and leaving a breath of fresh air where she went.
