Demon of Mine (38 page)

Elsie beamed
back at her, buoyed by Damon’s happiness. “Wonderful, isn’t it?
Damon and I are going for a walk to celebrate. Will you join us?”
Though it had left only one physical mark on Jenny, that dark night
had forged an intangible bond between her, Elsie, Damon and
Lucinda. They almost never spoke of it, but the closeness endured
nonetheless.

Jenny shook
her head. “I’m sorry, but I can’t. The new housemaid needs someone
to show her how to make a bed properly.” With a regretful smile,
she was gone. Unfortunately, not even bonds forged by facing and
overcoming undead peril together had swayed Jenny’s strict work
ethic.

“
It
seems it will be just the two of us,” Elsie said as she and Damon
turned for the front door.

Damon touched
his hand to the small of her back, sending a shiver of delight up
her spine. “That’s all right. You’re all the company I
need.”
