"Deal"

The plane touched doenty minutes later The council set off to find a hotel while Dorian and I drove back to my apartment It was Holly’s idea that Dorian stay with ies I wondered how Aiden would feel about Dorian staying withmy key, I opened the front door and inhaled the fas at the castle, but it waswhite appliances The floor was yellowing linoleum that was only popular in the seventies A hallway led to mine and Fiona’s bedrooms and a tiny bathroom The entire place was maybe nine hundred square feet, but it was hoestured to Dorian as I let my cat out of her carrier She was hesitant to step foot into the space, but after so roo her Aura just didn’t seeht

"So this is what the Angel of Death watches, movies from the forties?" I slid a piece of pizza ontoAbbot and Costello, and having Dorian onabout him that put me at ease

"This movie is hilarious Have you seen it?"
