Arnold was enjoying his newfound freedom, even though it was limited. He started taking walks in the park and enjoying the fresh air. He took care to keep his distance from the other people in the park – just to be on the safe side – but at least he wasn’t trapped in the house by embarrassment about his appearance any longer. Adrienne had done a marvellous job. Trevor and Tracey were great hosts, but they needed some alone time together now and again, so he was glad that he could now give it to them. Of course, he could only go out if there was no hint of rain in the forecast – he didn’t want his make-up to run and create panic among the living – but the winter was quite mild that year and allowed him to leave the house more often than not.

Adrienne would visit every other day to touch up his make-up. He really enjoyed her company and it was good to have a normal human friend, but they could never be more than just friends – his heart still belonged to Gillian.

He found himself actually looking forward to his next thirst. Now that he knew that he wouldn’t hurt her, he wondered if it would be ok for Adrienne to donate exclusively to him. He decided to talk to Trevor about it.

“Trevor?”

“Yes, mate.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Of course.”

“You know how we need to satiate the thirst every two weeks?”

“Yep.”

“Does the donor have to be a different person each time or can it be the same person?”

“It should be a different person, really, but that’s for vampires – vampires that aren’t zombies too. You’re different, so I don’t know. Maybe it’s different for you.”

“It’s just that I was thinking…”

“You were thinking that perhaps Adrienne could be a regular donor for you? We can see you have the hots for her.”

If he could have, Arnold would have blushed.

“Yes, I do like her. I like her a lot.”

“It’s not normal procedure, but we can ask her, I suppose. But we don’t want to risk her life – these friends of ours are donors, not prey.”

As sure as the sun rises and sets, the next thirst arrived right on cue. This time, the trio went to Tom and Edna Clancy’s house, in Poplar Grove. Tom and Edna had recently retired from the local health service where they had met, fallen in love, and worked until retirement. They were also Trevor and Tracey’s currently longest-serving donors, having commenced donating in their late teens, over forty-five years earlier. Tom was a cardiologist and Edna was a senior theatre nurse, and their expertise as ex-medical professionals would be critical for this particular donation session.

Adrienne was up for the idea – she’d taken quite a shine to Arnold herself – but she understood that she’d be venturing into unchartered territory. That was where Tom and Edna came in. With their combined experience, they would hopefully be able to anticipate any health problems that might affect Adrienne and deal with them appropriately.
