I fluffed my hair in the mirror and then tucked it behind my ears in an automatic, nervous gesture.

“You look great,” Laurie said from where she was lounging on her bed and reading her textbook, as I should have been doing. “He’s going to go wild.”

“I’m not sure I want him too wild.”

“Aren’t you?”

I resisted the urge to throw my hairbrush at her, but the truth was that a part of me definitely did want him to go wild. I wanted to be pushed against a wall and kissed so deeply I couldn’t breathe, to drag him to my bed and take care of this aching frustration I’d been feeling since I started dating Colin.

“It might not even be a date,” I said. I’d never clarified with him whether Vlad was bringing a date, or if it was a group thing, or what.

“It’s definitely a date.”

I couldn’t think why he would have invited me and not Laurie if it wasn’t. “Yeah. You’re probably right.” I checked my phone for the time. “Okay, I’m going to go and wait by the door for Daniel. Have a good night.”

The sun had just about disappeared from the sky, but it would still be enough to make Daniel uncomfortable if he stood in it for too long.

My thoughts were confirmed when Vlad was the one who walked toward me, wide grin on his face. “Hey,” he said.

“Hi.” I beamed back.

“I’m parked a few minutes away. The sun is still a bit much for Daniel, so he thought he’d better wait in the car just in case.” We started heading toward where the car was parked. “Didn’t want to start the evening off by him bursting into flames.”

I winced. “Yeah. Definitely not what I had in mind.”

We chatted about the movie we were going to see, the latest action flick that I wasn’t sure any of us were actually bothered about watching, until we got to the car.

It was an expensive, new SUV with tinted black windows, presumably so that it could carry Daniel, or other vampires, without them being affected by the sun. I doubted it would work in broad daylight, but in this low sun, he’d be fine inside the car.

Vlad opened the door at the back of the passenger seat for me and I slid in.

I was surprised that it was only Daniel inside the car, and he was sitting in the back behind Vlad’s driving seat. He’d get much less sunlight exposure in the back of the car.

“Hey,” he said.

Vlad settled into his seat and started the engine. From where I was sitting I could see both of them.

And no second woman.

I really hadn’t thought it would just be the three of us, and resisted the urge to ask them about it.

“I’ve never been to Kingston,” I said as we pulled out of the college campus and started on the road up toward Sleepy Hollow. “It’s the closest place with a theater?”

“There are a couple within about the same distance, but Kingston is the best one.
