"I was coming to tell you that Richard Arcane has re-newed my contract and then some. He's making sure that we both appear at the same house shows so we can be together as often as possible. He's also increased my salary so that I can buy you some lovely gifts and given me a car, problem is I can't drive but it doesn't seem to have bothered him. Do you drive? If you do you can have the car."
Doom grinned up at him.
"What about these lovely gifts then?"
Brandon chuckled.
"Give me your hand. Now I suggest you close your eyes for the next few seconds."
Doom did what Brandon asked. She heard a quiet popping noise and felt a slight squeezing sensation in her chest and as she opened her eyes she realised she was no longer in the carnival. She spun round unsure of herself and then looked warily at Brandon, he was still holding her hand.
"It's okay, this is where I live."
Doom stared at him.
"What did you just do?"
Brandon looked slightly embarrassed.
"I can also teleport, I might have forgotten to mention it. I was worried you might think I was an even bigger freak if you knew. You're the first person I've ever brought here."
Doom softened slightly and squeezed his hand.
"You dopey fool."
She smiled and began to explore the rooms. They were exquisitely decorated and tidy, she also liked the look of the king sized bed. Brandon followed her, opened a drawer next to the bed and pulled out a small box. He handed the box to her and nodded for her to open it. She flipped the top open and inside was a bright gold chain made up of three fine gold chains interwoven with small rose gold hearts. Doom stared at it and then up at Brandon.
"Is this for me?"
Brandon nodded and then took it from the box. He placed it round Dooms neck and smiled.
"I had it made specially for you, I couldn't find anything that really suited you in the shops so..."
Doom wasn't sure what to say but she wound her arms round Brandons waist and hugged him close.
