Mrs. Sterling leaned in and said, “Your appetite.”

T he next night, Alexander and I met at his grandmother’s monument in the cemetery.

“I think it went well,” I said, rushing toward him.

He greeted me with a long kiss. “That was so nice of your parents to invite us. No one in town has reached out to them. It meant a lot.”

“My parents really like you. And your family.”

Alexander brushed my hair away from my face with his fingers. “But there are things you must know”

“Our dads got along “ I said, dreaming.

“Constantine’s really great. But he doesn’t see me as a real artist. He thinks I’m just going through a phase.”

“Why do you call him by his first name?”

“I just rarely see him. And when I do, he’s always focused on his work. Dad never really fell off my tongue. Raven I have to tell you something. Why I didn’t introduce you to them before… It’s why I’ve been distracted.” Alexander paused, trying to find the right words.

“They like me, but they don’t want me to become your grandmother-an outsider in her own family,” I said.

Alexander nodded.

“I can imagine if my parents knew you were a vampire, they might have problems with it. I understand your parents might feel the same way about me being a mortal.”

“Well, there is that…”

“But we all get along. Like one big extended happy family. It’s just funny. If my parents knew about your parents-and you for that matter…”

“What do you think they’d do?” Alexander asked, pulling me toward him.

“Not let me meet you in a cemetery, on sacred ground. That’s for sure.”
