Chapter 109
Raymond was leaning against the trunk of the car.
“I’m sorry, I should have unlocked the door for you,” I said.
“It doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t have gotten in until you returned anyway.”
“Oh.” I aimed the remote at the car and pressed the button that released the locks. Mina bounded in as soon as I opened the driver’s door. She scrambled over the console and settled herself on Raymond’s lap. Damn, the man…vampyre…was fast!
I buckled up, turned on the ignition, and put the car in gear. “Are you going to yell at me?” I backed out of the driveway. The shadows under the trees seemed to converge in the street as I drove away.
“No. I’m going to leave that to le duc.”
“You’re going to tell him? Snitch.”
“I won’t have to.”
“He can…he knows what I do even when he isn’t here?” I stared at him in horror. “He’s like Santa?”
“There’s no such being.” There was amusement in his voice. “Keep your eyes on the road, please.”
