Epilogue

“Do you think it will still be there? ” Frankie worried as Henri guided the sleek black BMW rental car down the steep hill of California Street into the part of San Francisco known as Cow Hollow. The lights of the city were just coming on. “I mean, what if she’s sold it? Or what if … if I never gave it to her because Donna never gave it to me, because in this version of time I was never bitter and didn’t need to go back?”

“Calm down, ma petite,” Henri said. “It does no good to twist your hair like that.”

Frankie jerked her hand away from her curls. She glanced at Henri. He smiled. How she loved that smile.

“And stop chewing your lip?”

She took a breath and tried her best to scowl at him. It was always hard to scowl at Henri. “You know as well as I do how important … no, how dangerous that book could be. What if someone uses it for their own purposes?”

“If she’s sold it, we’ll track it down and buy it. And the other argument is circular. You know that. It will either be there or it won’t.”

Bingo. Henri was right, of course.

“I might remind you that you used it for your own purposes and things seem to have turned out well.” His eyes were laughing at her. But she knew it was love that made them laugh.

“There. There’s the shop.” Miraculously, a parking spot waited for them right in front. In San Francisco, no less. Vampire luck to the rescue again. On the whole she liked being vampire, strong and alive as she had never felt before Henri had given his gift of blood. She had to admit she was eager for one of their number, Julien Davinoff, to finally produce a successful synthetic blood. If anyone could do it, Julien could. But it didn ’t matter. She would never let the inconvenience of needing blood every couple of weeks stand in the way of the life she had built with Henri. She was so lucky, in so many ways.

She watched his face as he eased the Beamer into the parking space. He was tired. He’d just flown in from Somalia the night before. He’d had to get his team out of that hellhole before it all collapsed and their risked lives turned into lives lost. Doctors Without Borders was Henri’s current effort to make the world a better place. She loved him for that.

ROSANO’S RARE BOOKS was painted in gilt over the window of the little shop. Under those words a single pedestal stand displayed a great book that looked like one of those old dictionaries a foot thick. Light glowed from within, but Frankie couldn ’t see anyone inside.

Henri reached over and took her hand. “You’re holding your breath.”

She let it out. “Okay, let’s go.” She didn’t wait for him to open her door. But he made it to the door of the shop ahead of her and pushed it open.
