first date. How much weirder could things possibly get?”
    Nicholas blushed a little. “I see your point.”
    “ Thank you,” Page said. She sighed and rubbed her eyes. She felt inordinately tired, but when she closed her eyes, all she could see were Van’s horrifically elongated teeth. His narrow, hateful golden eyes.
    “ Do me a favor, Nicholas?” she asked suddenly.
    “ Anything.”
    “ Stay with me. Hold me until I fall asleep, even, if you don’t mind.” Page shuddered involuntarily. “I know I’m safe but I keep thinking about Van.”
    “ Of course,” Nicholas said. He slipped out of his jacket and untied his shoes before sliding onto the bed next to Page.
    The two lay down, their bodies fitted together, and Nicholas held Page close until long after her breaths had slowed into deep sleep.

Chapter 4
    “ Remember: anyone orders their ‘usual,’ you hand it off to me,” Armand said. “That pretty much always means they want a shot or two added from the special pump, but there’s one or two humans who come in regularly and somehow are still clueless, and you don’t want to make that mistake.”
    Page nodded vigorously. The “special pump” was one just beneath the counter, out of any customer’s line of sight. Armand had told her what it was, and when she laughed nervously, he’d demonstrated to ensure that she believed him.
    “ Isn’t that a biohazard?” Page asked timorously.
    Armand laughed, white teeth flashing in the colored light of the coffee house. “Not for most of our clients.”
    The special pump, of course, was attached to a small heated keg. Nicholas and a handful of other nurses – one human, even – kept it full of a steady supply of A-positive. That had seemed weirdly specific to Page.
    “ Do you ever get any other blood types?” she asked.
    “ Only at Christmas, baby.”
    Page tried not to ask so many questions after that. They could wait until she knew Armand well enough to know when he was just messing with her.
    Quitting her old job at the café had been more difficult than Page liked to admit. It just seemed so final . Janine had nearly cried when Page told her she was leaving, but explaining her reasons had made it easier.
    “ I didn’t realize it had gotten that bad!” Janine exclaimed. “You let me know if you need anything, girl.”
    Page had actually glossed over the worst details, simply telling Janine that her ex-boyfriend Donovan had started following her around and even broke into her apartment. She very carefully neglected to mention that Donovan had physically attacked her and that she’d needed to be rescued by Nicholas. She’d also conveniently forgotten to mention that the two men were a werewolf and a vampire, respectively. She felt a little guilty for lying to her friend, but nothing good could come of telling Janine everything. It would just put her former coworker in danger.
    Janine had helped Page empty out her apartment, with Nicholas standing guard in the kitchen as the two girls packed up Page’s belongings. As Page still hadn’t found a new place to live and was still staying in the spare room at Armand’s café, it was lucky she didn’t own much that she really wanted to keep: the old futon she used as a couch as well as her battered old television ended up left on the sidewalk. Her kitchen had been outfitted with the absolute bare necessities, most of which were dented, cracked, or chipped. She left them. The bed frame and mattress had come with the apartment, and of course her coffee maker was broken after the fight with Van.
    In the end, Page didn’t take much more than her clothes and a box of old books. Nicholas had promised to help her find a small apartment somewhere safe, which meant she’d be living in the strange, old part of town where the café was.
    She still wasn’t quite sure how Nicholas managed that, but Armand had clearly been waiting for her when she and Janine returned to his coffee house with her
