“Nice to see you again, Miss Scott.” It was Master Shelby, of course, turning on the charm.

I rounded on him, jabbing my broken-nailed pointer finger into his face. “You need to leave me alone, you retro fruitcake. You may think you’re the big cheese around here, but you ain’t the boss of me. And stay away from Peg! Whatever your game is…”

Shelby smiled, seeming not in the least discomfited by my outburst. He backed away, bowed, and with a nod at Jackson left the room by the door he’d entered.

“Ashlee, what’s wrong?” Jackson placed his hands on my shoulders like Sully had done just moments before.

“That vampire is dating Will’s mother.”

“Oh, you figured it out?”

“Figured what out?”

“That Shelby’s a vampire.”

“No, I meant…Wait. What? I meant it as a figure of speech. He’s really a vampire?” I put two and three together, coming up with five. “The paleness. He really is sucking the life out of Peg! And, oh my God, Will too!”

“And that’s a problem?” Jackson bent down and peered into my eyes, which were trying not to look into his.

“With Will, of course it’s a problem. He’s mine, and he’s injured, and doesn’t a vampire taking blood from people turn them into his slaves or something?”

“No, that’s only if the blood exchange goes the other way.”

“Then it had better not.” I could hardly believe I was calmly discussing real actual no-shit yes-I-believe-in-them vampires. I guess once you take the first drink at the supernatural bar, the next few go down more easily.

“Also, don’t vampires sleep during the day?”

“More often than not, but they can stay up late just like anyone, if they need to.”

“And as for Peg,” I went on, “it’s a problem because she doesn’t know who he really is.” I was getting into full-on righteous indignation mode now.

“Being a vampire – or any kind of supernatural – isn’t something you tell someone right away.”

“Well, it should be.” I then had to eat my words.

“You haven’t told Will yet. How’s that any different?”

Ooh, and he was right. Cornered – just like I always felt with Adam and my Dad. I tell you, they used to run circles around me when we were having family debates. Always left me feeling like my logic was irrational and my critical thinking skills were at the mercy of my emotions. And maybe they were. But I was trying, dammit!

As for Amber, she mostly decided not to play, even though she seemed better at it than I was, but I wanted more from my family than conversations that could fill a greeting card. I wanted intimacy. As in, into-me-you-see. Get it? Sigh.

I called Will’s cell phone, which went to voicemail. Oh well. I knew where he could be found. Then I dialed Peg, who picked up on the second ring. “Hi Peg. Will still doing okay?”

“Samantha’s keeping him one more day at the hospital to run some tests, and I’ve got Sam’s daughter Siobhan for the evening.”

“You shouldn’t be alone. I’ll come over.”

“Oh, I won’t be alone.
