Chapter 76
The following evening, Katelina was packed, dressed, and waiting in the living room before Jorick and Loren were back from "eating". She wasn't sure why Jorick was taking Loren with them, except that he had a car. But why didn't Jorick just borrow it or get his own? He could drive, she'd seen him, so why did he always hand it off to everyone else?
Just another unanswered question.
The two vampires returned, snow melting on their shoulders. Jorick offered her a half smile, "Ready?"
She nodded, then eyed the white snowflakes that hung suspended in his black hair. "Is it snowing out?"
"Yeah." Loren nodded enthusiastically. "Not a lot, though. Just starting to really stick out there."
Katelina moved around them both and opened the door wide. Beyond the painted frame, the black night gaped at her. The falling flakes were small and fluffy, and they caught the light briefly as they drifted to the ground, like tiny stars.
"Wow," she murmured. "It's winter already."
