Danial asked on the drive home. “I think they liked me.” The first meeting between my new vampire paramour and my human parents had been stressful, to say the least. While they’d appreciated Danial’s charming manner, his candor had been received a bit less enthusiastically. “I think it went fine,” I replied. “They liked you a lot. But maybe you should’ve waited for the second meeting with them to break the news that we’d moved in together.” “We’re adults,” he said smoothly. “We’re old enough to know what we want. Why hide?” “I wasn’t hiding,” I said defensively. “But it sounds fast even to me, who’s happily living it. And no, before you ask, I’m not having second thoughts.” “Good. Let’s get home. Next week is going to be busy.” He kissed my hand. “I’m very pleased you’re coming with me.” It would be my first trip overseas, and our first trip as a couple. I was jittery with excitement, thinking how romantic Europe would be. However, I was also worried, because this was a business trip for Danial, which meant some kind of crime had been committed.
