Chapter Fourteen

TYREL

The morning the applicants went to the clinic, I had the absolute pleasure of taking my mother out to brunch. It had become something of a family tradition after my father had left. Every first Sunday of the month, we went out to eat together. It was something she had done with my father in the early days, and after he was gone, I often sensed a certain kind of sadness in her on these days. So one month, I had taken it upon myself to invite her out, so she would stoop looking so miserable.

Over time it had become a thing that neither of us could easily stop, even when we weren't on best terms with each other.

It had been during a Sunday lunch that mother had first proposed her plans of finding a mate for me as well.

Today's brunch started out nicely enough. For the first half hour or so, while we ate, we pretended that we didn't have four practically strange men living in our vacation home with the goal to determine whom of them I should bed to produce an heir.

The blessed silence couldn't last forever, of course.

Sure enough, my mother started talking about her favorite topic once she'd finished her first cup of coffee.

”Do you have a favorite yet, darling?“ she asked.

”What if I do?“ I shot back, hardly believing that my opinion on this matter would be of much importance to her.

“Well, it might be good to know if you do. Although I suppose there’s no real use talking about it until we know the results of the checkup, I’d like to know if your attitude toward humans has changed any.”

Had it? Perhaps. At least I was starting to consider that there might be exceptions who were worthy of my time, even if most humans weren’t.

“How did your date last night go?” Mother asked when I didn’t reply.

”I had a good time last night,“ I said. Of course, my mother was referring to my date with Michael, while I was thinking solely of the time I'd spent with Adrian after my obligations had been fulfilled. My time with Michael hadn't been awful, but everything that had happened after?

I'd never thought I'd feel any kind of connection to a human, but Adrian... slowly he changed the way I saw the world.

”I didn't hear you come home last night.“ Mother raised an eye brow at me. ”Stayed out late? Paul informs me Michael came home before you did.“ She said it like it was a crime to let your date go home without you.

”I accompanied him here. But I didn't come in with him. I went out into the city for a drink instead.“ No sense in hiding that fact. I was a grown-up. I was allowed a drink every now and then.

”I see. Is that all that happened last night after you date?“

I shot her a smile. My mother, always so suspicious. She knew me too well.

”It's all I'm going to tell you about,“ I said.
