He wasn't hard to trace. That saltwater stench had soaked through his skin — Garrick's own personal fragrance. She'd call it musty dead pirate. Reminded her she’d have to pssh-pssh him with Chanel when she got her pretty nails on his boney ass. Sharp stilettos bit into the front steps of a cafe. There was another entrance at the back, where spiral metal stairs led to an apartment. Place looked cute and cheap, perched there like a little bird on a branch. No magic laced jewelry blinged on her fingers, only her usual crystals, gold bands strapped around slender digits, still chaining her to night strolls. She wouldn't do anything just because it was trendy. Let those Prets, with sticks so far up their asses you could see the other end poking through their nostrils, enjoy the daylight.
The scent of something rosemary and sweet tickled her senses. This wasn’t musty dead pirate anymore — it wrapped itself in a nicer aroma, then died, as she knocked on the door. Waiting for a silly invite from whoever was dragging their feet inside. Thump, thump, thump— a curious brow arched at the steady sounds of a heartbeat. Was he living with a human? Oh, she would mock him endlessly for this.
Ugh. Frankie groaned in anticipation. Couldn’t they invent jewelry that let vampires walk through any door without a come on in? Now that would be useful. A lot better than those daylight rings made just so Laure could catch sun rays and tan lines. "Hellooo? It’s your friendly neighbor from upstairs. I’m bringing gifts, and they’re very heavy." Inside the box in her hands, donuts sat in neat little rows, filled with a delicious center — all crème de la blood.
