Sunset.
Carlos's eyes snapped open. His hearing attuned to the sound of the Compound. Noisy children's laughter filtered down to him.
This put Carlos in an instant bad mood. Lillyanne had ignored his wishes. They should already be gone. The whole household was entirely charmed by them. He couldn't even blame his vampire nature as Tash and Eiko were just as captivated as everybody else here.
He exhaled slowly, trying to breathe out the tension he felt. He knew it wasn't the children, ultimately causing his bad mood. It was Selina. Every avenue he looked down, it all pointed to Selina as the bad guy. She had always been a lethal minx, but she had been his. He had trusted her.
She had been too busy for him the evening before. Ignored his calls until near dawn and promised a meet tonight
