Alliance
“Her eyes match the grass underneath her and it’s all I can do to say a strangled, “Chloe needs the bathroom.”
She smiles at me, completely guileless. “Go through there,” she points a slim, toned arm and delicate finger toward a door in the stone castle. “Second door on the right.”
“Thanks,” I say, and my voice squeaks like it did when I was fourteen.
I usher Chloe in the direction Maggie indicated, but I can’t help seeing a pointed look pass from Hannah—who looks much better—to Maggie. Of cours...e it was too much to hope no one would notice how flustered I am.
Chloe’s needs met, I lean my arm on the wall and put my forehead in the crease of my elbow. What am I going to do now?
I was doing just fine keeping my distance from Maggie until last night and Chloe’s little crying jag. Seeing her hold and comfort my sister, and then touching Maggie… Part of me wishes I could go back in time and undo it all, because it made me realize that Maggie is so much more than the vampire.MoreLess
