Things kept playing over in my head, like a song with no ending note. I couldn’t fight the battle of conscience—there was no winning. I’d dreamed of kissing the man who tried to kill me. Had actually kissed my best friend, tearing Emily’s heart out in the process. And the worst part was, the only thing I kept thinking about was how I felt in my dream last night; how close I felt to Jason, how… safe. That little dream world had more of a hold on me than I wanted to admit.

A part of me wondered if he was right—if Jason was right about my feelings for Mike being based on blood addiction. Sometimes I was so resolved in how I felt, and it would all flutter away in one simple look from Mike or one gorgeous smile. Was my pendulum heart a reflection of who I was, of what I’d been through, or was it really because of blood?

I sat drumming one set of fingers on the table, propping my chin up with the others, letting the horrid coffee I made myself go cold. It was more of a prop anyway; an excuse to sit out here and listen to David and Emily giggling and mucking about while making food they didn’t really need to eat.

I think, of all the people I hurt over the past few days, Emily was hurt most. But she didn’t show it. Instead, she was calm, believing she had no right to be hurt by what happened with Mike and me because he no longer wanted her.

I’d have slapped me if I were her. Then, who’s to say she wasn’t planning a revenge strike? The way her and David talked and laughed with each other, it would be easy enough for her to do with David what I did with Mike. I mean, David was clearly smitten with her.

I looked over my shoulder and watched them scuffling around in the kitchen: Emily playing keep-off with a spoon, and David, despite having arms long enough to grab it in one go, tickled her ribs, taking the playful route to get what he wanted.

Funny thing was though, I didn’t even know if he would want her if she offered. He’d never really talked about a preference to blondes or brunettes; never really mentioned anything to do with girls in his past. I mean, everyone has an ex story, right? And sharing them is a part of getting to know each other, but David never shared anything. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’d been with other humans before and only told me he hadn’t. Wasn’t like I’d ever find out. For all I knew, given that he didn’t normally put up with my kind of rubbish, David was the kind of guy who liked sexy blondes with great careers, or independent women who could run home businesses, juggling emails and phone calls while making casseroles.

I leaned on my hand. Judging from the sort of guy he was, it seemed odd that he even fell for me in the first place.
