."Oh my God!I love Sinclair ! I love him!Him ! That that arrogant sneaky gorgeous cool sneaky ""Well, of course you do.""See, this is the sort of information I could have used earlier," I said and cried harder.Jessica was patting my back."Come on, Bets, you knew deep down you loved him.Like anyone couldmove into your house if you really didn't want them.Like you'd put up with all that from just any guy.Like you'dsleep with just any guy.""But he's such a jerk.""Well, sweetie, you're not the easiest person in the world to get along with, either, sometimes." Shegrinned and touched her black eye."And this isn't even for losing yourSimpsons Season Four DVD.""Jess I'm so sorry I feel so bad " I gestured to my nudity, the closet, the cedar balls."I know, Betsy." She bent down and kissed me, right on the temple."I just had to sulk and, you know,heal up the last couple of days.I know you were sorry right after.""I was, I was! I felt like dead dog shit.It's been the absolute worst week.""Frankly, the only reason I've decided to forgive you is because I'm dying to meet the daughter of thedevil.""Oh, God, she's so boring." I sat up and wiped my dry (I didn't cry like a normal person anymore) eyes."I mean, really nice.Don't get me wrong, she's a total sweetheart.You'll like her.But ""But she's no queen of the vampires.""I haven't been much of a queen these days.""That's not true.You read the Book so you could find out more about yourself, about the threat to theworld your sister.And you tracked her down and were ready to rumble, until she turned out to be nice.And you're helping George.""Youhave been listening to the baby monitor!""Are you kidding? That sucker's been on twenty-four hours a day.I was afraid to sleep; I didn't want tomiss anything.""Everything's such a mess."

You've been a vampire for six months, Bets.That's nothing to him, it's a baseball season.Like I said, he's interested in your sister, sure.She's the daughter of the devil! And he's the king of thevampires.So of course he's gonna want to, you know, look into it.But I bet he's just covering hisbases being Sinclair.""A real match made in heaven.Sinclair the star fucker and the woman fated to take over the world."

I'd minored in European history; Diana and Charles's marriagefoundering before her death was nothing, historically speaking."If you'd just heard how mean he'sbeen no, that's not right, not mean exactly, more like he doesn't give much of a shit.""I did hear.I was starting to tell you, I'd been coming down to leave a check for Cathie ""The upstairs lady?""No, the plant lady.""Jess, you don't have to pay someone just to water the plants.Five people live in this house, for Christ'ssake.I'm sure we can handle it without ""Anyway, I sort of overheard your littlette lame with Nick.And then I sort of overheard you andSinclair.He was pretty frigid," she added, giving me a sympathetic look."I'm sure it's not a total loss.Butyou've got some work to do
