“Okay, we have settled hot dogs, French fries, flavour of potato chips.” She drew a happy face in her ketchup with a fry. “Cake versus cupcakes, favourite cookies, ideal vacation spots and favourite sex positions. What else?”

“Family holidays?” he arched his brow.

“Nope. We get together anytime and don’t bother with standard gatherings.”

He looked surprised. “Why not?”

“My mother’s family disowned her, and my father’s family doesn’t know about us. He was a rarity. His great grandmother was a mage who married a serpent, a snake charmer. His grandmother appeared human but her children were serpents from a variety of species. My father married my mother and his family couldn’t stand her, so they disowned him and we never met any of them. My mother’s family was upset that he wasn’t pure and did the same.”

“So, you, your mother and sister are all you have.”

“Yup. Well, until my little brother arrives.”

“Half-brother.”

“No, if he is born of my mother, he is my brother. Snakes don’t do things by halves.” She smiled and finished her fries.

He looked at her empty plates and nodded. “Right. How often do you eat?”

“Once a day, sometimes regular meals, but I have to be fussier with portioning.”

“What is your preferred wild hunt?”

She smirked, “Python or rattlesnake.”

He leaned in and whispered, “Seriously? You eat other snakes?”

“It is the preferred food of my kind. We are referred to as snake-eaters.” She sipped at her lemonade and smiled as the server removed her plates.

“Here I always thought that rodents were the issue.”

“Nope. Other snakes. Unless I am starving, I won’t go after a rodent. Well, if it is in my house, I will take it out, but it is like eating broccoli. It is nutritious but I am not really a fan, though hunting them can be enjoyable.”

He sat back and blinked. “Okay. Good to know. The occasional snake makes it into the spa. You can handle that when we are down there.”

“My pleasure. Do you think your family will tolerate me? I don’t want to be the cause of any rifts between you and them.”

“They already know about who and what you are to me. It took some doing, but they support me in my pursuit of you.”

She blinked. “They know about me?”

“Of course. I have been hoping that you would recover and put distance between yourself and the recovery centre for months, but they wouldn’t let you go. When you announced that you were going to charge here to the Crossroads, there wasn’t any time.” He sat back and drank his water. “When you decide to strike, you move fast.”

“I do. I felt backed into a corner, and when I can’t escape, I strike. It’s in my genes.”

Liander leaned forward and took her hand. “Thanks for the warning.”

She grinned beatifically and ordered some pie.
