Chapter 43
INT. - JULIAN BLACK'S MANSION - MORNING
Kinsey's pulse picked up as she followed Simone through doorway and into the long, tall ceilinged hallway. More skylights bathed the passage in heat and illumination, reflecting from Simone's shiny, black hair, catching the diamonds in her ears. Kinsey might not have wanted Gerri to see it, but there was something about this woman that equally attracted her and freaked her out.
Not attraction in the sexual sense. Kinsey was 100% hetero, despite dabbling out of curiosity during a summer spent at a dig in Peru. More of a charismatic pull, as though Simone was drawing Kinsey to her with will alone. It had to be a coincidence she recognized that feeling. She had finally sensed it in her grandmother and used it herself from time to time to make things go her way.
