Nope, the chances of me jetting off to jolly old England before Saturday at midnight are slim to none.

"Guess you can start calling me Vampire Sunny," I say with a desolate sigh. I take another mouthful of the blood wine. Might as well start developing a taste for the stuff.

"Hold on there," Magnus says. "You're not giving up that easily, are you?" I look up from my glass. "I'm not living in a fantasy world, Mag. I'm not holding out false hope. There's absolutely no possible way I can swing by Glastonbury before Saturday night. I'm just being realistic."

Magnus picks up his own goblet and swirls the liquid around, staring at it for a moment. Then he looks at me. "I'll take you," he says, after a long pause. I stare back at him, trying to ignore the sapphire blueness of his eyes. "What?" I ask, even though I heard him perfectly. It's simply that I can't believe what he said.

"To England. To Glastonbury. To Avalon. To find the Grail."

"You'd... you'd take me?" I repeat, knowing I'm not sounding like the most intelligent person at the moment. But still...

Magnus shrugs. "Sure. The coven has a few private jets. I can borrow one tomorrow night and we can head over." He sets down his glass. "I honestly don't know if we can find the Grail while we're there, but we can at least give it the old college try, right?"

I nod slowly, blown away by what he's just proposed. I mean, surely he has better things to do than to spend the week on a wild goose chase for the Holy Grail. And yet he's perfectly willing to set aside his plans to help me out.

"That's so... nice of you," I say, lamely.

He reaches over and takes my hand in his. Gah! His touch sends chills down my arm, through my body, and down to my toes, like some kind of crazy electrical current. I resist the urge to squirm.

"Sunny," he says, tracing the back of my hand with a finger. Okay, he needs to stop doing that. Right now. "I hope you know I feel bloody awful about what I've put you through. If there's any way I can make it up to you, reverse the curse I've put you under, I want to do that."

I feel my insides melting, like a lime Popsicle in the sun. "Th-thank you," I murmur. "I really... appreciate that." I sound totally lame, but what else can I say?

He catches my eyes from across the table. I want to look away, but for some reason find myself totally mesmerized. He really does have amazing eyes. I wonder if he was born with them or if it's something you get as a perk from becoming a vamp. I supposed it would be a pretty good consolation prize. Lose your soul, gain captivating, irresistible eyes. Yeah, that would be cool, actually. Maybe you also get to lose weight and look like a supermodel. Blood would be pretty low in carbs, right? High in protein, rich in iron.
