Mimi followed Oliver down the stairs. She got her credit card back, and they went out the door. She found she was shivering. How many familiars had she had? Too many to count. Had some of them ended up here when she was finished with them? Had she consigned many to this fate? Had she done this to people? To boys she had used? She hadn’t loved them, but she hadn’t wanted them to end up like this either. She knew she was careless and selfish—but she wasn’t—she didn’t—

“No,” Oliver said. “I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not like that. Sure, some of us succumb to it, but not all of us. You can fight it. It’s called self-control. Only the weak ones end up here. Or the unlucky. Evan’s vampire disappeared after first blood. That’s when the yearning is the strongest. Once you do it a couple of times, you’re used to it. To the feeling of being incomplete.”

“So—some familiars, they’re okay? Even after they never have it again?” she asked hopefully.

“Sure. Not everyone becomes addicted. It becomes this thing you learn to live with, like a sadness that doesn’t go away.” Oliver shrugged. “At least that’s what I’ve heard.”

They stood outside on the dirty sidewalk. Mimi felt like putting a comforting hand on Oliver’s shoulder, but she didn’t know if he would appreciate the gesture. Instead, she said, “You’re never going to end up like him. Don’t even worry about that.”

“I hope not,” Oliver said. “But never say never.”

For a moment, Mimi hated Schuyler Van Alen more than ever, but this time it had nothing to do with Jack.
