Normally on a Sunday, her only full day completely free of work, Brittany liked to go swimming in her apartment complex pool, do a little laundry, and cook dinner for her sister. This Sunday she was trolling around the shopping complex at The Ava, trying to run vampires to ground.

Of a vampire.

She wanted to see Corbin again. When she had screamed on the phone the night before, he had suddenly appeared beside her, full of concern. When she had reassured him she was okay, he had left her, but not before he gave her a ride down from the roof. And not before she’d seen the compassion in his eyes.

It had convinced her what she had thought all along about Sea-mus and Ethan. Vampires weren’t soulless. They were lost souls. They just needed to give up the whole bloodsucking thing and they could be perfectly happy and productive people, with just an incredibly long life span.

She wasn’t sure how long that life span would last if they did give up putting the bite on people, but it seemed worth investigating. It was sort of like with children. Parents didn’t like their kids’ actions at times but they still loved their offspring. Biting was bad, but vampires weren’t.

It all made sense to her, except she didn’t know where to find Corbin. He wasn’t registered at the front desk, at least not under the name he’d given her, and Ethan didn’t seem to be in his room. Hopefully, he was with Alexis being saved from eternal damnation. Brittany thought that would be ideal. Ethan saved, Alexis laid. Everyone benefited.

Wandering through the lobby for the fourth time, wondering if she should just go home, she ran into Seamus.

“Hey, Brittany. Have you seen Ethan?”

“No, I haven’t. Have you seen Corbin?”

“Who?” Seamus looked at her in confusion. He was wearing a suit, as usual, and he had dark circles under his eyes like there hadn’t been a whole lot of sleep for him lately.

“Corbin. The French guy.”

He stiffened just a little. “I’m sorry. I don’t know who that is.”

How obvious was it that he was lying?

“No? I thought he was a friend of yours.” How does she know the banished one?

Seamus’s thoughts floated over to her, and Brittany was just itching to know why Corbin had been ejected from the vampire coven, or whatever it was called.

“No, sorry, Brittany. If you’ll excuse me?”

“Sure, Seamus.” If he wasn’t going to tell her, there wasn’t much she could do about it. But Brittany had an idea. If she could hear vamp thoughts, maybe she could make them. Maybe she could locate Corbin by calling him.

Moving down the hall, her heels sinking into the soft gray carpet, she absently adjusted the strap of her orange sundress and clutched her purse. Maybe there was somewhere a bit more private, so she didn’t look like an idiot mentally screaming for Corbin. A hand touched her arm. “Kelsey.”

She turned, startled, and looked at a man wearing a black silk shirt and dark glasses.
