Chapter Eleven

Kate tipped the bags over and watched everything she'd purchased tumble out onto the bed; then, she

began to sort through the pile. Snatching the black sweater and black wool hat, she hurried to the closet

and grabbed her black dress pants. She pulled them on quickly, donning the sweater, too, but stuffing the

hat into a pocket. Then she hurried back to the bed to start tossing the things into her new black

backpack. Once she was done, she checked her watch.

Kate had spent the better part of the afternoon sitting in a chair next to Lucern in the Roundhouse

hospitality suite, eating all the food he kept shoving at her and dutifully drinking the orange juice he'd

made Chris go out and find. It had been interminable. Kate had started to feel better rather quickly after

drinking the orange juice and eating, at least physically better, but Lucern had hovered anxiously over

her. The man had acted like a mother bird.

Lucern had also reeked of guilt, for which Kate could have kicked him. He had nothing to feel guilty

for—she had practically forced him to take her blood. And, yes, it had briefly weakened her, but it hadn't

harmed her in the end. Still, she did not have aspirations to be on a dinner menu. Even if being there had

been mostly pleasurable, she would avoid offering herself up as another meal. So she'd fretted with the

problem of how to feed him all afternoon.

Kate had been to several conferences and had never seen the Roundhouse hospitality suite so busy. The

fans had arrived en masse, filling the room to bursting, the overflow spilling out into the hall. Chuck had

been clearly pleased. Allison, Tom and Deeana had had their hands full answering questions, and giving

out little key chains with miniature book covers on them to the readers. Chris had been forced to leave

Lucern and Kate several times to confer with some of his own writers, but that had been all right, they'd

done fine. With Lucern, the fans had been blessedly gentle. Perhaps that was because of Lady Barrow's

announcement that he wasn't feeling well, or perhaps it was because, while he no longer looked like a

walking corpse, Lucern was still pale and apparently fragile. Whatever the case, the fans Kate had feared

might overwhelm him had all been gracious and sweet. They had also done most of the talking, telling

Lucern how much they enjoyed his work and not seeming to notice that he said little in response.

It was at the hospitality suite that Kate had come up with her plan. It was risky and dangerous and utter

madness, but it was the only thing she could think of. Knowing that Lucern would balk at it, she'd kept

the plan to herself, asked Chris to accompany him to the cover model reunion dinner, and had slipped

out to collect what they would need. Now she checked to be sure that she had everything and peered at

her wristwatch again.

She had instructed Chris to bring Lucern back to the room directly after the dinner and skip the rest of

the evening.
