spade a spade, you abducted me.”
       “ In what language?” Krystal interjected.
       “ Huh?” I was a little foggy with alcohol.
       “ Miw-sher means kitten in what language?”
       “ Oh, Egyptian,” I shook my head.
       “ Of course,” she laughed. “Anubis, right, should have known.”
       “ Fine,” Anubis flowed right back into our conversation. “It's a spade. We didn't have a relationship like a normal couple but we did have a relationship and I did have you. Now I want you back.”
       “ Well, Trevor won't agree to it,” I glared at him, “and I'm not going to sneak around behind his back.”
       “ Vervain is very loyal,” Krystal nodded sagely and pushed up her glasses. I wanted to hug her. “You’ll have to steal her away completely.” I wanted to slap her.
       “ Shut up, Krystal,” I transferred my glare to her. “Check please,” I waved to the waitress.
       “ I got it,” Anubis handed the waitress another of his endless bills and told her to keep the change. Her eyes lit up, almost as bright as they did when he first walked in.
       “ Thanks,” I stumbled to my feet and he caught me by the arm.
       “ You better let me drive you home,” he picked me up and started out the door.
       “ Damn it, Anubis,” I smacked at him ineffectively, “put me down.”
       “ I’ll put you down when I get to the car,” he kept going, while Krystal trailed us.
       “ Just sit me on a bench until I sober up,” I hit him again. “It won't take too long. Besides, I can’t have you driving me home drunk, it’ll start a war.”
       “ Not an issue,” he kept heading toward my Jag. “I’ll drive you home and trace out from the car. No one will even know I’d been there.”
       “ Krystal,” I called over my shoulder.
       “ I’m fine, sweetie,” she waved to her little sports car. “I only had one. You guys go ahead.”
       “ It was nice to meet you, Krystal,” Anubis called back as he tucked me into the passenger seat.
       “ Same here, sweet-cheeks,” she called as she roared away.
       Then I saw the tinted windows of the car parked behind hers. They were very dark, probably illegal in Hawaii, but that wasn't what made me pause. It was the darkened windshield. Who tints their windshield? There was only one other car I'd seen like it and it had a vampire in it. I frowned at it, having the strangest feeling of being stared at through that dark glass.
       Blue was the God of Vampires and when we'd been at odds, I understood why he might want me trailed but we'd made up since then. Why was he still having me followed? My inebriated mind couldn't even focus properly on the problem.
       “ I like your friend,” Anubis chuckled as he closed my door, cutting off my train of thought.
       “ Fabulous,” I grinned at him when he opened the driver's door. “She's single, go hook up with her.”
       “ There's only one woman who's been able to awaken Death,” he looked so lost, my heart faltered and the butterflies swirled around it. “I'll be happy with none other.”
       “ You can be,” I sighed. “It just seems like I'm the only one, right now.”
       “ You are the only one.”
       He climbed in the driver’s side and looked over at me. His eyes were swirling with jewel tones, and I swallowed uncomfortably to see them. It had been months since I'd seen those colors and there, in the privacy of my car and under the influence of a lot of alcohol, I could finally admit to missing them.
       Anubis had done horrible things to me. The thought of a relationship with him should not only have been impossible, it should have been horrifying. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The problem was, I'd had a glimpse into his head. A small look really but it was enough to show me what kind of man he was. He was a man worth loving, worth saving, as my love magic was making known.
       “ Do you even know how to drive?” I asked to
