What did she mean by a vixen beside him when he awoke? He was puzzled by Kate, but it was one reason he loved her. <br/><br/>Listening to her play and everyone making requests relaxed him, and he went back to the ballroom to get some water to drink. The room had thinned out, and he found the maid cleaning up empty glasses. She gave him a nod and handed him some fresh water. Cedric was thirsty and drank it down. He gave the glass back and said,<br/><br/>"Thank you miss for that. I an much better."<br/><br/>He gave her a smile before turning to return to the parlour to hear Kate's playing.
