This was worse, though.

At least blood was normal?

I grabbed my phone with a shaky hand and texted Kat.

Me

My transportation of choice isn't going to work out, but I'm behind your café

Can you send the cake out? I'm going to download a ride app

Kat

Your shadows? What happened?

Me

I'm turning back into a vampire unfortunately

Too much blood in me to travel that way now I guess

Kat

Are you okay?

I stared down at the phone.

That question was... different.

I didn't interact with people enough for any of them to care about me, other than Darius.

It was strange that this woman I'd never even met was now asking if I was okay.It kind of made me feel something. I didn't know what.

Me

Yeah, I'm fine

Kat

Good

I don't think you'll need to worry about a ride app

Me

Why not?

The back door of the café opened, and I looked up immediately.

Darius stepped out with a to-go box in his hand

Oh.

Right.

Should've seen that coming.

I texted Kat.
