Angeline's been hanging out with that dhampir. I just saw them walking off together. Is something going on with them?" "Which dhampir?" I asked. "The one with the fake British accent."

He was here earlier today and was so nervous, he literally kept looking over his shoulder.โ Lee paused thoughtfully. โI think it might have been because Adrian kept laughing like a mad scientist at those old black-and-white movies he was watching.
