I tied a black choker necklace around my throat and another black length of ribbon around my wrist, masking the worst of the bruising around my vampire marks. Then I took an excruciatingly long time with my make up. And still I had an anxious half an hour to fidget and chew my lip before the car was scheduled to pick me up.
Reflexively I checked my email. Still nothing. I opened a new message and began to type.
M,
Logan Talbot is bringing me out to a fancy dinner thing tonight. I know I shouldn't go, but I'll be careful. It's with a bunch of faculty; I'll be safe. But the reason he's so fixated is because I'm connected to you. What is it between you two? Not knowing is driving me nuts. And I feel like I'd be more prepared for whatever it is he wants from me if I knew. Please. Tell me.
