“Done.” He smiled widely as if he knew of the perfect one or if he had it already.
“Do you have any other siblings?”
“Not technically. Vivian. We call her Viv. She is like our little sister and have for many years called her that. We have the same feelings for her that you have for Liz. Our bond with her is close.”
“How did you meet her?”
“Her parents and our parents were of best friends. They all died together. Her parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time. We helped each other through it. Eventually, there was a bond there and we just began calling her our little sis.”
“That’s Sweet. So does she live close to you guys?”
“No. She lives in Sydney, Australia now. Technically, I don’t live in Missouri either. I only purchased that home to be closer to you. Don’t get me wrong Missouri is beautiful but it’s not home.”
“Where do you live then? Where i
s home?” Why would you have a house in Missouri if you don’t live there? That’s ridiculous or are you ridiculously rich and don’t have worry about the financial aspect of having two homes.
“Jarrod and I both live in Montana. We have a ranch there. It’s beautiful country. I shall take you soon. When we wed, we will live there.” Is that a matter of fact or a, you have no choice? “It’s a I hope you will live there with me. Raise the twins on the ranch. They would love it. Remember I only asked for two things. Where we live is really irrelevant, I would terribly miss it though.”
“Well, I, ,,,” His eyes are bewildered but she knew he had heard her thoughts. “Always wanted to see Montana. Where we live is irrelevant as long as we are together. I’d follow you anywhere you have to know that.” She gave him a come hither with her index finger and he was quick to oblige. The sweet soft touch of his lips to hers. Brief. Too brief. If only she weren’t shattered that was rather apparent as she yawned again.
She snuggled deeper into her pillow. “Will you have Jarrod do that thing so I don’t wake up fifty billion times? I just want to sleep all the way through tonight.” She asked. She felt his touch as he ran his fingers from her forehead down. Her eyes fluttered closed.
Chapter Twenty
Taylor woke to the fresh scent of coffee. Irish coffee. With French vanilla crème in it. She turned, stretching before sitting up on the side of the bed. She looked at the bedside table and there it sat, all steamy and fresh.
She picked it up smiling before sipping it. After throwing on the robe she noted lying across the foot of the bed, that she was sure meant for her but she had no clue where it came from. She went looking for Damien to thank him properly.
As she walked down the hall she noticed Liz’s room was open, bed made. She kept going until she seen her sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee staring out the window into the heavy snow coming down. Ashley and Zach would have absolutely loved this. She turned her attention back to her sister who looked worried. Deep in thought. Lost even.
Immediately she wanted to know what was going on. She didn’t worry like she was doing right now. Not even while they were leaving for Chicago. It was always like she knew everything was going to be okay and she didn’t dwell on it. She went with the flow of life.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Taylor brushed the little strip of hair that had fallen across Liz’s eyes.
“They left. Jarrod said that Michael couldn’t track them so he went after Vivian and that he had her. That they had to go get her or he would kill her. What if they don’t make it on time? What if he kills her? Will they blame us for bringing them into this? What will we do if they do blame us? OH MY GOD! What if they get killed? I can’t live without him Taylor. I love him and I won’t live without him.” She burst into tears.
“Wait, what do you mean, they went after her? Who is the hell is Michael?” Taylor could feel the panic in her voice. She knew Liz was upset but she couldn’t comfort her right now, she had to stop anything from happening.
“Michael is the name of the vampire after us. Vivian is their sister or practically anyways. Michael has Vivian, Taylor. He was going to kill her. They went after her to save her.”
“Where?” Taylor yelled not meaning to.
“Australia. What are we going to do Liz? We can’t just sit here while they put their lives at risk for us. Too many people have been hurt because of us. I won’t let them endanger their lives for us again. They have already sacrificed enough by losing their parents. We have to stop this from happening again.”
“Ok so what are we going to do then? How are we going to stop it?” She perked up waiting for Taylor’s answer. Truth was she didn’t know what the hell to do. Go after them.
“Did Jarrod get the Tahoe last night like he said he would?”
“Yeah, he went right after I went to sleep. It’s parked out front. Why?”
“Get dressed quick, we are going, I think I remember where she lives. Damien
mentioned something about it last night.”
Taylor ran to her bedroom, throwing on her jeans, sweater and a coat. She had to get there. But then she worried would they miss them during flight. Not wanting to waste time, she ran back toward kitchen halting in the hall.
“Liz, I didn’t know we had guests.” She spoke slowly to Liz and the man standing next to her. Her face was pale white and her eyes were filled with tears. She didn’t say a word. He was too close to her. “I’m Taylor and you are?”
