Valentine's Day Sucks
Valentine’s Day sucks. Boyd sighed as he saw Charlie sidle up to the bar and order a beer. A few feet away sat his girlfriend. This was a problem. His friend Charlie ran a standard Valentino scam on vampires: He would seduce them and then kill them. He was good at it. However, he had a healthy libido, so occasionally he would fall for a target. This could cause complications.

Maps and half-assed cures
My best friend is sort of mad at me but can’t blame me so he has to just suck it up, as my husband says. “When I literally had broken bones last time we did this—- we still carried on. We don’t even know what’s going on with you, Bex…” Hudson grips, looking at all the laid out papers that Jack left me.

A Guest at 10:17
Every night at precisely 10:17, Marianne set the table for two. The ritual was simple. A chipped ceramic plate beside a slightly smaller one, two spoons of sugar heaped into matching crystal bowls, and a single pale lavender candle placed between them just so. It had begun the night Calvin first asked her to stay, to make dinner together before he went back to the city. A momentary thing, she’d said. A simple meal. But something about that first night had felt like the hinge of an old door. Once it closed, she could still feel the vibration in the frame.
