"When Suzette joined the Vixen Order, life in the Temple changed forever. She was 21 and French; beautiful, witty, intelligent, charming, with an accent that drove men wild. Everybody fell instantly in love with her. The whole Temple seemed brighter now that she was living within its walls. "I have never met anybody like Suzette, before or since. She was simply the most lovely, giving person I've ever known. A real angel. She always had time for you, to listen to your problems, to share a laugh, or even to help you with your chores. "One of the guards, Derek, was particularly fond of her. You could see his whole demeanour change every time she walked into the room. He would stand silently in the shadows, awe etched all over his face, his big deer-like eyes following her around the room like spotlights, too shy and self-conscious to attract her attention or speak to her. He was absolutely besotted. "Suzette was completely oblivious to all of this until one day, when word came to the Temple that her mother back in the real world had passed away. She ran from the great hall, her eyes blurred by tears, and ran head-first into Derek coming the other way. She looked up into his eyes and saw instantly his heart was breaking. It hurt him terribly to see her so upset. She needed no further encouragement - she put her hands behind his neck and kissed him. "Derek and Suzette were virtually inseparable after that, although nobody but me knew they were together. Suzette confided in me, but I never told anybody else, not even Sinistra. It's not that anybody would have disapproved, it's just that, well, in a community where everybody knows everything about you, there's something somehow intimate about a secret that's known only to you. "Nobody could have guessed that Suzette's loving nature would be the very thing that would one day be her undoing." Credits: Michael's Changing Fantasy Suit from DAZ Hair by Koz
