*jawdrop* This was amazing.
The way you told us all clearly, from the beginning, who the mystery romance was so we could enjoy anticipating Viktor's discovery. Love the voice you captured! The thing we learn about this person at the first sighting through Viktor's eyes!!!!! The new terms you used, like "sanguinist"! That took me a while. (Vampires? Huh? OH. Oooh!) The atmospheric excitement of the growing romance. This is a triumph and I enjoyed every word.
