Peter rolled his eyes when she told him that she’d changed her mind on the kitchen

layout. Frankie just laughed, a great big booming laugh that filled the air.

“Hah,” he said. “Told Peter it wasn’t natural the way you just let him dictate your

kitchen. Never was a woman yet who let a man arrange her kitchen.”

“Hmm,” said Elyna.

The kitchen progressed rapidly after that. Stainless steel sinks, marble countertop, and all.

Elyna bought a teddy bear for Simon’s new son and told Frankie what to buy his wife for

their anniversary.

When the men came in to lay the kitchen flooring, they were grimfaced and unhappy.

Elyna, as she had done before, coaxed the story out of them. Being police officers in

Chicago was not for the faint of heart. Vampires are territorial, and somehow this group

of hardworking men had become hers just as the home they’d helped her put together was

hers. Her mother had taught her to take care of what was hers. She had to use a touch of

persuasion to get a name and address.

“Sorry to invite this in here,” Peter murmured to her as they were getting ready to leave

for the night. “Evil belongs out in the street, not in your home.”

Elyna looked down at her hands. “Evil exists everywhere,” she told him.

That night she broke the neck of a murderer who had gotten free on a technicality, just as

she had killed the drug dealer who’d handed a ten-year-old the heroin to overdose on and

the lawyer who liked to kill prostitutes.
