Prologue
Hes here.
Is he? Where? Let me see.
The air moved behind me as Magda hurried over to peer around me. Are you sure thats him?
I nudged aside the heavy blue tweed curtain, creating an infinitesimally small gap between curtain and window that allowed me to eye the man who stood on my front step. It has to be. Just look at him.
I would if you moved your hand... Ah. Magda had what I thought of as an opera singers voice, rich in timbre, and with a Spanish accent that managed to be simultaneously charming and sultry. Well, its true he is wearing dark glasses. But lots of people wear those.
At night? I asked.
She pursed her lips. He doesnt have long hair like Alec had.
No, but hes got a widows peak. That screams vampire. So does the fedora hes holding.
Bah. Its just a hat.
I pointed. That is not just a hat. Its leather and stylish, and all the vamps Ive seen have worn something similar.
Hrmph. Lots of men wear hats like that. And long dusters.
Oh, come on! Who do you know who dresses like something out of a European male models agent portfolio, wears dark glasses and a hat, and positively reeks of sexy, smoldering danger?
Well... Her face screwed up for a moment while she thought. I just dont know. Are you sure thats the messenger?
Positive.
Hmm. Magdas chin rested on my shoulder as we huddled behind the curtain. He could be a religious person trying to convert you. Or someone who ran out of gas and needs to use your phone. Or maybe hes a spirit, and is lost, and needs you to help him find that place the spirits call heaven.
The Icelanders call it Ostri, and hes not a spirit.
How do you know? Are you wearing your thingie?
I lifted my hand. A small oval moonstone charm swung gently from a silver bracelet.
OK, so hes not a ghost. Why dont you let him in and well see who he is?
Are you kidding? I asked, giving her a gimlet eye. Hes a vampire! Dont you know anything? You never invite a vampire into your home. Once you do, they can come in anytime they want!
Her lips curled. Unlike, oh, say, a normal man?
You know what I mean.
Why dont you just ask Kristoff? she asked, moving away, her tone dismissive.
I let the curtain drop to glare across the small living room at my friend. You know full well I havent heard a single word from that particular man since that horrible time in Iceland when I ended up being his Beloved instead of Alecs. He hates me because I took his dead girlfriends place. I couldnt possibly ask him, even if I knew where to find him, and I dont, so that point is completely moot.
