and otherwise.
    Sam suddenly felt underdressed. She looked down at her sweater and khakis and realized they might make her stand out in a room full of briefcases and fancy suits. When Sam didn’t make any progress towards the building, Abby walked over to her and bumped her playfully with her hip.
    “Don’t worry. It’s cool here.”
    “Right, last time I ate someplace like this, I was meeting with the mafia.” Sam said out of the corner of her mouth.
    Abby laughed so hard, Sam could see tears well up in her eyes. Funny thing was Sam was completely serious. Strange how sometimes the best way to keep a secret is to say it out loud.
    Abby glided into The Lake House with the stature of a woman who belonged in this world and paused in front of the hostess, just long enough to get her attention.
    “Good afternoon, Ms. Andrean. Your father is already seated.”
    The young hostess walked both women over towards the farthest corner to give them a secluded area to speak. Glancing around the room as they walked through, Sam spotted a beautiful blonde in the corner farthest away from Bradley. The woman tilted her drink towards her and smiled in greeting. Abby caught the motion from the corner of her eye and turned to stare at the woman to Sam’s dismay.
    “You know someone here?” She questioned Sam as she studied the stranger’s features.
    “No. She must have me confused with someone else.” The words barely peeped out from between Sam’s lips.
    Honestly, Sam was surprised to see Morgan sitting in the restaurant, talking with a young human and acting as though she’d been in this town for years. She was definitely not ready to explain who, or what, Morgan was to Abby this early in the game.
     
    Anywhere Sam went, they followed. She was lucky if she had a few days before bumping into a demon. It was something she’d grown accustomed to after her first few moves. There was no reason to question the nature of the universe. Anywhere there was good, there had to be evil, so the two groups traveled together, in a constant fight for balance.
    And Sam had seen firsthand that no one in the world better personified evil than Morgan, the woman who now sat across the room who also happened to be one of two demons always on Sam’s tail. Vance was the other.
    Vance was the stronger of the two, standing 6’4” with dark brown hair and blue eyes. Like all demons, he was the epitome of physical perfection. Toned and tan and absolutely irresistible to most human females. Actually, he was almost irresistible even to Sam.
    Morgan was a petite blonde. Only about 5’2”, it was easy for her to deceive anyone and convince them that she was harmless thanks to her small frame. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, Sam has seen what Morgan was capable of and she knew better than to disregard her enemy. Morgan didn’t have the physical strength of most demons but she made up for it with cunning manipulation and masterful battle skills. Her powers weren’t too shabby, either.
    Sam had gotten to know both the demons fairly well from the perspective of rivals. Working alongside the demons was always part of her job since they both shared the same ultimate goals, to keep the universe in check and to never allow a slip in the balance between good and evil. And she looked forward to seeing Vance, every time she moved on to a new location and a new charge. She’d await his arrival with anticipation, wondering when he’d pop up, who he’d claim to be and how he’d present her with a new challenge.
    There was something about the demon that drew Sam back every time. She knew better than to let her guard down anywhere near the stunning creature but most of the time she just couldn’t help herself. She felt an unnatural pull to Vance and she fought that attraction every day.
    Her self-restraint had held strong over the years and she’d yet to give in to the temptation. It was both a point of pride and an unrelenting disappointment in her
