Chapter 30. In-person report

"Shi - Will you please stop doing that?" Love gasped, startled out of her melancholic contemplation by the unexpected intrusion. 

Ezra was casually leaning back on the end of the bed, with his long legs crossed in front of him, his wide and cheerful grin serving to break up his otherwise inhuman perfection. He chuckled lightly in a pleasant musical tone, "Ah, sorry, sorry." 

Love sighed and regarded him warily, cautious not to approach too closely in case she experienced the strange desire to attack the vampire as she had before. 

However, feeling no such reaction, Love moved a little closer and tilted her head to the side curiously, "Where were you?" 

Ezra leant forward with an excited glint in his emerald eyes, "Oh, did you miss me?"

"No." Love replied with a deadpan expression.
