"We'd barely talked at all. And... I could barely talk at that point. I just handed him this plate full of rock hard rolls and three different casseroles and then I staggered the fuck off. Like a champ."
He laughs. "You're such a mess when you're drunk. You're lucky there's no pot here, you'll never see me as a mess." Because he is messy when he's high.
"I think he gets it now though. No explanations necessary."
"I might be a mess, but I'm a hot mess," she throws back, smirking.
It's nice to get to do that again. To let her guard down and not have to always be ready to fight for her life.
"I'm gonna offer a contract to Vanessa, too. I don't know if she'll take it, but if they want to stay together, I don't want them to have to lose each other right now too."
Jesus is still wary about the vampires but he nods--yeah. Vanessa and Carver deserve to stay together if they want. "Have you met her before? I never have."
"No. But we're going to. And regardless -" She rubs at one eye, sighs.
"Back when we were first trying to figure all this out, that was Carver's only negotiation point. He wanted space for Grayson and Vanessa. Said they were his people."
