Nothing, think of nothing, I tell myself over and over while focusing on the sound of the water spraying out of the shower head. I study the vampire blood as it washes down the drain. It turns red again when water mixes with it.

Vayle has returned. I’m kind of freaking out about that too.

Think of nothing.

His eyes. The way he kept looking at me. He has questions for me, and I wonder what they are. Am I in love with Derek? I don’t know anymore. Derek has pulled so far away from me that I hardly recognize him. Do I love Vayle? I don’t know, but my heart is thumping like crazy.

Every part of me remembers Vayle’s hands exploring my body and the way he tastes when we kiss. But it’s not only that. I want to hear him laugh again, joke with me, make a case for me ending up flipping burgers in Foreversville if I don’t choose him over the Wek. It would’ve been nice to have him with me when I ventured through the dome of doom, the place where I had to behead the two Selells who stole Jake and Mary’s souls. It would’ve been cool if he’d gone to Nice with us. Vayle holds the other half of the power of sun. At least he and Ben could’ve gone with us in the daytime. Man, I miss him. I don’t want him to go away again—ever.

I hit the button that turns the water off and step out of the shower. The floor-to-ceiling mirrors surrounding the double bowl sink catch all my angles. Usually I try not to look at myself, but this time, I can’t help it.

My hips are more rounded and breasts more plump. My legs are long but strong, and there are tiny cuts on my shoulders. It’s the body of a woman who is feminine but strong. Personality wise, I have the strong part down, but the woman part? Let’s just say I’m no Clarity. But I want Vayle to look at me the way Ze Feldis looks at her. I can see them spending forever together in pure happily-ever-after bliss. Not me and Vayle though. It’s that actuality that keeps me from falling completely in love with him.

Once that’s settled, the enigma of why I feel so strongly for Vayle at the moment passes, and I step over to a grandiose contraption in the corner of the bathroom. It’s a body dryer! One steps into it, and the air turns on and dries one off. I only use it because I like the idea that my father, my actual father, had it built into my bathroom because he wanted to give me the finer things in life. That’s what I want, a guy who simply wants to give me the best things.

When I’m dry, I feel the pressure of wanting to hurry back to the patio. I want to see him. I wonder if he’s there. Hot damn, Vayle is back! I run out of what I call the dry-my-butt corner and down the short hallway to my bedroom.
