"Not Muggles?" Jessica gasped, which made me snicker in spite of lad she hadn&039;t died

"Even if Elizabeth felt no sense of responsibility, bringing the body back is respectful"

And it lets you get a good look at the uys, doesn&039;t it, hot stuff? But I kept that stuff to myself; it was pillow talk, and none of Jessica&039;s business

She probably knew, though Sinclair would noa powerful force in neutral territory) than he would go outside without pants

"But I would like to add once again-"

"Oh, here we go"

"I don&039;t think you should accoerous"

Jessica waved her sticklike ars "Since Betsy came back froo to the Mall of Aerate"

"Yes, but not by ed "As you like" He knew, as we all did, that it was Jessica&039;s plane And that she&039;d insist on co even if it was his plane

In some ways, and I know this sounds terrible, but in some ways it was almost bad that I&039;d cured her cancer Now she was in thethan usual

I&039;d cured her by accident, which was terrific But I&039;d also made her fearless by accident, which wasn&039;t There&039;d coes demanded it-when I wouldn&039;t be around to save her teeny butt

"You know, Sinclair&039;s got a point," I began, knowing I asting my time (I had no actual breath to waste) "Who knohat the reception&039;s going to be like? There&039;s still tiht about now, ma&039;am," Cooper called

"You did that on purpose," I ht check while Jessica climbed out of her seat, walked to the front (the fore? The cabin? I was s, but a pilot wasn&039;t one of them), and took her seat next to Cooper

She couldn&039;t fly and only had a passing knowledge of the instruured someday she would summon the nerve to ask him to teach her

Jessica&039;s presence was less proble to say about a best friend As I said, I&039;d cured her of a lethal blood disease, totally by accident

But while the vampire in me had once cured her cancer, it had also attacked her It had also ripped her boyfriend froenerous spirit

Every time I looked at her I worried, and resolved to deserve her, and then worried again

To distract myself I stood up, popped BabyJon into his car seat, made sure it was secured to the airplane seat, and then sat back down to buckle my own seat belt Little brother stared out the ithoutso much as a peep

Wait Buckle my seat belt? Should I bother? Could a plane crash even hurt me? I looked down at Eric&039;s waistline and saw that he hadn&039;t bothered

Huh Well Old habits, you know?

"Aren&039;t you nervous?" I asked

"Extre serious"

"Oh" The newspaper slowly ca down an unknown nu a plane flown by an Irish-man?"

"Nasty! What&039;d the Irish ever do to you?"

"Never o"

"Just focus on not dying, and we&039;ll be fine"

He smiled and cupped my chin in his hand In a second, our faces were only inches apart "I shall promise not to die, but only if you do so as well"

"Deal," Ithis close to Sinclair often had this effect on ents," Cooper said, the party pooper

Sinclair took his hand away and picked up the paper; I just stared at the ceiling That was hoe began the long taxi toward a place I had never been and didn&039;t particularly want to go
