You’ve seen me and gotten my measure.” I regarded her steadily. “I’m not sure what you want from me tonight.” “Pam is fond of you,” she said, not answering me directly. “This one, too.” She jerked her head at Bubba. “I don’t know why, and I want to know.” “She’s kind,” Bubba said immediately. “She smells good. She has good manners. And she’s a good fighter, too.” I smiled at the addled vampire. “Thank you, Bubba. You’re a good friend to me.” Freyda eyed the famous face as if she were mining secrets from it. She turned her gaze back to me. “Bill Compton still likes you despite the fact that you’ve rejected him,” Freyda said quietly. “Even Thalia says you’re tolerable. Bill and Eric have both been your lovers. There must be something to you besides the fairy blood. Frankly, I can barely detect your fairy heritage.” “Most vamps don’t get that until someone points it out to them,” I agreed.
