When the vampires finished their breakfast, Wolfe announced that departure was delayed due to stormy seas. Katelina was still eating, so Jorick gave her a kiss and said he wanted to speak to Oren. The lion-maned vampire followed him out of the dining room, and both she and Etsuko let them go.
The other vampires followed, until only Katelina and Etsuko remained. As Katelina chewed, she thought about the people who'd been out in the storm removing the metal shields from the windows. She hoped they got paid well.
Etsuko finished the last of her meal, then primly folded her napkin and laid it aside. She sat with her back straight and hands in her lap. The moment Katelina laid down her fork, she said, "I hope Katelina-san has had a good week?"
"Yeah. It's too bad it's over, even if there were no cabana boys." Etsuko blinked back at her, so she added quickly, "Did you have a good time? I didn't see you on the beach very much."
