Ice clinks against the side of my glass, and I wave my hand in front of my face, shooing away gnats. Kristy, Naomi, and Nicole left about an hour ago, and Lucas is still sleeping. He left to get the footage for me once I was asleep, and didn’t return to the house until right before sunrise. After losing blood and then not taking any more in, he’s going to sleep probably twice as long as usual, and once he’s up he really should feed. There’s no telling if I’ll need him to come save my ass again.

I’m outside on the rooftop patio, playing catch-up on my tan, and take a big drink of ice water. My familiars have been up here with me, lounging in the sun like regular house cats. Setting my water down, I roll over onto my stomach so I can tan my back. Remembering what Lucas said about tanning topless, I lift my head and look at the houses next to me. I’m up a little higher, but there’s still a good chance the neighbors could look out and see me, which I kinda don’t care if they do.

It’s just boobs.

I met one of the neighbors for the first time yesterday morning. I was heading out for a run the same time Mrs. Clemmot was. She’s probably in her late forties and as uppity as you’d expect for someone living on this street. The only reason she stopped and introduced herself to me was because she’d only seen Lucas a handful of times and was curious about him.

Like I told Abby’s friends when they asked, I said he worked in finance and was at his office a lot, which is why she only saw him coming and going at night. She seemed to buy my answer with no hesitation, though it surprises me with how nosey she was that she hadn’t noticed the light-tight blinds that are always drawn during the day. Though whoever Lucas hired to put them in did a good job making them not obvious in the least.

There are trees and decorative shrubs in the front, obscuring the windows from view, and the glass on the upstairs windows is rather reflective, which makes it hard to look through to see the blinds. And I suppose it’s not unusual to keep your curtains drawn when you live on a busy street like this.

Reaching behind me, I untie the strings of my top and put my head back down, soaking up every bit of sunlight. It feels so good to be outside in the heat even though I started sweating not even five minutes after stepping foot outside.

“The pool will be so nice,” I mumble to my familiars. “I’ll get you guys little cat rafts. You know, if you actually went in them and I got pictures it would probably go viral.” Pandora scoffs, and if I looked up, I’m sure I’d see Freya rolling her eyes.

“Suit yourself. But on a hot day like this the pool will feel amazing.
