Chapter 37 Meeting Nicole

Just when I leaned forward to hold the goblet, a shriek filled the room and the movements of a person running down the stairs resounded. My head snapped to the side immediately and my eyes widened when I saw a young lady running down the stairs whilst holding her skirts up as she skipped down the stairs.
Her blonde hair was held in a neat bun and was adorned with hairpins of all sorts. She had a big smile on her face and her blue eyes danced with excitement as she ran to Elder Theodore who was already on his feet, opening his arms wide for her. She jumped right in, giggling happily as Elder Theodore twirled her around.
Though she was slim, I could not believe Elder Theodore would lift her and twirl her around like she weighed nothing more than a feather. The strength of this old man never ceased to amaze him.
