Liz stood on the sidewalk outside the tiny door next to the hardware store that led up to her apartment. Living above a shop didn't sound like the ideal place to be, but it was her own space and it worked for her. Now, it just seemed too noisy. Gabby had called Mrs. Greene the day after she'd, you know, and weaved a story that she was sick. That had bought her a week, but it was time she went home and began facing the inevitable. Life went on, so there was no use hiding from it.

“But, you said I have to be invited in,” she said to Sam, looking at the door with a frown. “I rent it out, surely I need to be invited by the landlord?”

“Loophole,” Sam said.

She gave him a look.

“Hey, I didn't write the rules,” he said with a chuckle. “The mystical part of the universe did. You signed the lease.”

Opening the door, she picked up the wad of mail that had been delivered in her absence. It didn't escape her notice that one was a little larger and thicker than the rest and her heart skipped a beat. Sam's hand slid over the small of her back and she sighed, forgetting that he could hear those kind of things.

Handing her keys to Sam, she nodded up the stairs to her front door at the top. “If you think we can get in, you go first.”

Threading his fingers through hers, he tugged her up the stairs behind him. Unlocking the door, he stepped inside. “See. Told you.”

With a relieved sigh, Liz followed Sam and closed the door behind her. At least she could get into her own apartment. That was a good start. Good things were thinner on the ground in the past week, so that was a win she was taking straight to the bank.

Dumping all the letters but one on the kitchen counter, she held the biggest one in her hands, the emblem of UCLA in the top corner. What was she supposed to do now? Open it probably, but everything was different now.

“Is that?” Sam asked, looking over her shoulder.

Ignoring him, she stared down at the package and ripped it open with shaky fingers. Forgetting that she was stronger now, she almost tore the entire thing in half. Reading the cover letter, she already knew what it said before she read the word 'congratulations'. She'd gotten in. She'd gotten into UCLA.

It seemed like some kind of cruel joke. A vampire going to college.

“Liz?”

She looked up at Sam and handed him the letter. “I can't go now, can I?” She felt tears threatening and wondered if that was just her stupid vampire feelings overloading again.

“You can always put it off for a year,” he said. “Get a handle on things.”

“I've been waiting for this for what seems like forever.”

“You can still go, Liz. You can still live as much of a normal life as anyone.”

“Normal?” She wanted to yell at him to stop being so blind.
