Anna and the Vampire Prince (8 page)

Had he been there? Probably. But he kept his distance.

The doorbell rings again soon after the flowers arrived. Since I’m closest, I open it.

“I can’t believe I missed the play,” a familiar, wonderful, warm voice greets me. “But we got held up in—”

It’s as far as Frey gets. I’m in his arms, swallowing up his words in a breathless kiss. I pull him in.

“Where’s John-John?”

“He’s with his grandparents. He only has two more weeks of school so—”

Once again, that’s as far as he gets. No one has seen him yet, and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass. I pull him upstairs and into our bedroom, slamming the door shut behind us and jumping into his arms.

Now,
the party can begin…
