Eiko Koike took a puff, frowned at me in annoyance, and silenced my chuckles by bit-
ing me. It had been too long since we had shared our souls. I bit Eiko's back,
and we stayed entwined for over an hour. So what if it tasted like cham-
pagne? Yes, I was wasted afterwards. It was worth it.
Saturday morning, Victoria explained to me what had happened. Eiko Koike and
Margot had gone out to a happy hour Friday. The hour turned into six or
seven very happy hours until some guy picked Eiko's up. "He would not leave me
alone. Please do not be jealous. I decided to feed, but he would not let me
get close enough until after we were at his place. It took me a long time to
fly back, because I was still drunk." I kissed her, drawing a warm, satis-
fied smile. "Margot wants to go out again, tonight, but I told Eiko's you would
be coming along. I have been... neglectful."
We had ice cream sundaes for breakfast. "When you are a vampire, it is
easy to flaunt tradition," Victoria said as Eiko Koike devoured hers. Me? I was
tickled to ignore 33 years of training. I had never even remotely considered
having sundaes for breakfast, even after a night of serious drinking when I
had been single. We watched cartoons and giggled until a more traditional
lunch. Laundry got done, the kitchen got cleaned, and we prepared to go out.
