Klaus drove us home. To my surprise, Matteo was waiting on the front porch as we pulled into the driveway. As I got out, he waved hello and explained, “Ivan wants me to give you a good massage. It’ll prevent you from locking up so bad with the whiplash.”

“Sounds heavenly.” My neck and shoulders were already stiffening. I had no experience with whiplash, but some things you don’t need to live through to know it’d be better to skip it.

House opened the door for us and I went in to find Nana rolling through the dining room door, a worried look on her face. “Kiddo, how bad was it?”

“Whiplash and some cuts for both of us,” I answered, leaning down to give her a careful hug. Although for once, I was the reason for moving gingerly. “But we’re okay. Mactep fixed the car; she’s driving it here.”

Nana relaxed visibly. “Oh good. What happened?”

Matteo came in behind me with a folded table under his arms that looked like a portable massage table. “I’ll set this up in the formal living room, alright? House, give me curtains over both doorways for a little privacy, if you would.”

House immediately drew shutters down over the open doorways. I blinked at them. Where in the world had it pulled those from? They looked old in style, like something from the 70’s.

I told Nana the story of the car accident as Matteo set everything up. When he called me in, it was a relief, because I honestly wasn’t sure how to handle all the hovering. I lay flat on my front, arms at my sides, and let Matteo’s magical fingers work out the tension and knots and stress. He put heated rocks along my spine when he was done, and I honestly felt like I was floating when I got off the table.

Vampires were amazing masseuses. Who knew?

Klaus was waiting for me as I stepped out, exchanging places with Ciarán, as of course my pooka friend needed to get worked loose too. Klaus insisted I sit at the table and eat something, that I’d recover faster with something in my stomach. Never mind that it was a good three hours until dinner. Then Mitsuki-sama came by to see how I was doing and assured me the twins wouldn’t be allowed to race each other. Anywhere.

Then Zoya came by with the car, and she and Ivan both looked me over and made sure I was alright.

I appreciated all of the concern, I really did, but it was straaange. I’d never had someone fuss over me in my life. Except Nana. Even a week before, if I’d been in that accident, I wouldn’t have had anyone to call for help. I would have been alone as I called the police, the tow truck, our insurance agent. It would have been on my shoulders to get the car fixed. I had to say, it was nice to not be forced to do it all myself, but I found it weird my life had changed that much in a week.
