Chapter Seven

Having dinner with her parents turned out to be a lot more fun than Savanna had thought it would be, even if she did spend most of it blushing from embarrassment at the things her mom said. If the other woman wasn’t relating some horrifying childhood experience of Savanna’s, then she was describing some “peculiar” boyfriend Savanna had brought home.

Of course, Savanna’s mother was especially thrilled when she learned that Kaige was a college professor.

“Finally,” her mother said, giving Savanna a pointed look. “Someone with a real job.” Her gaze went to Kaige. “And you two met at a Goth club?”

He smiled. “We bumped into each other outside, actually.”

That seemed to make more sense to her mom, who quickly launched into another embarrassing story from Savanna’s youth. Kaige didn’t seem to mind her mother’s stories at all. In fact, he looked like he was enjoying himself.

“Did Savanna tell you that she wanted to be a vampire when she was younger?” her mother asked as they were having dessert.

Savanna almost choked on her cake.

Beside her, Kaige’s mouth twitched, his dark eyes teasing as he glanced at her. “You know, I don’t think she did.”

Her mother nodded. “Oh, yes! She was fascinated with the whole idea. She even tried to convince me to have the dentist put caps on her teeth so it would look like she had fangs. Of course, I wouldn’t do it. Thank goodness.”

Though Savanna gave Kaige an embarrassed look, she couldn’t help but laugh along with him. Savanna could just imagine what her mom would think if she discovered her daughter really had become a vampire, fangs and all. On second thought, maybe it would be best to keep that to herself. Her mom would drag her down to the dentist to try and have her fangs “fixed.”

As they were getting ready to leave a little while later, her mother pulled her off to the side while Kaige was talking to her father.

“That boyfriend of yours is a real catch, dear,” her mother said in what she probably thought was a low voice. “Your father and I definitely wouldn’t mind having him for a son-in-law, I can tell you.”

“Mom, we just met.”

Her mother waved her hand. “Nonsense! I saw the way you two looked at each other. Kaige is already head over heels for you.”

Savanna shot Kaige a look, sure he must have heard. But if he had, he gave no indication of it. She turned back to her mother.

“Mom, please.”

But her mother continued as if Savanna hadn’t spoken. “Now, I’m not saying you have to rush into marriage or anything, but there’s no harm in talking about it. I saw the most beautiful gown on the cover of one of the bridal magazines when I was at the grocery store the other day. Why don’t you come over during the week and I’ll show it to you?”

Savanna sighed. She knew her mother meant well, but this was not the time to be having this conversation. “Good night, Mom.
