Status Updates From Monster (Her Dark Fae Princ...

I shouldn’t have said anything. I shrugged. “She doesn’t care, El. She doesn’t care, but she wouldn’t have to know. It’s not as though she creeps around the house at night.” Except sometimes she did, without her skin, dusting the ceiling and polishing floors like a creepy spider.

For three hours, he had me practicing walking gracefully, extending my arms, and my favorite part, lifting him up like he was El.

He definitely wasn’t Eleanor Adams, and while he didn’t seem to mind floating gracefully as a swan, a female swan, I really wasn’t comfortable lifting him over my head and gazing at him adoringly. Oh yes, I was supposed to gaze at him adoringly.

“Vampires are different, Met. We still have residual personalities. I was a very dull person when I was alive. A bookkeeper with all those little ledgers and eye-strain. Now I run around hunting easy sources of crimson liquor, but in those days I was courting a very dull girl who I loved with all the burning affection of a steadfast bookkeeper. Our parlor sitting was something to behold.”

“It’s none of my business.”
“And yet you’re here because she asked you to come. She seemed a bit angry when she got out and ran up those stairs. I think you would have stopped her from going up bone hill if she’d been any slower. Lover’s quarrel? No, you aren’t lovers. It would have to be a friend’s quarrel.”

Isn't this conversation backwards.

I seriously did not think this lady actually existed.

I kept it simple, white for the full moon, gauzy dress and leggings with my white boots. Also sparkles. Jax went black and more black. No sparkles.

“I am the moon and you are the night,” I said all sing-song.

“I am the cool girl and you are the loon.”

“Do you want me to go in with you?” I held James’s hand tightly as I stared at the modern and cheerful-looking school.

James looked up at me and slowly shook his head. “They’ll ask me if you’re a real unicorn. I’ll have to say that unicorns aren’t real, and that might make them cry. Specially girls.”
