I don’t get why people are so touchy. When I told Dinah Drozdov that I wanted to keep things casual and still date other people, she was fine with that. When I told her sister Aly the same thing, she was fine with that too. But for some reason, when Dinah found out Aly was one of the “other people,” she flipped out. And when Aly found out about Dinah, she REALLY flipped out. I guess there’s some special rule about dating two sisters at the same time. Like that you aren’t supposed to do it. But then things got really bad when their dad found out. He started going off about how I was going to suffer in new and terrible ways I’d never dreamed possible. When Aunt Tatiana found out, things got really, REALLY bad. I guess Lord Drozdov is critical to some motion she’s trying to get passed, and he threatened to pull his support because of me. Aunt Tatiana was pissed, to put it mildly. I still don’t really understand these aura things I keep seeing, but hers was deep red, and that just didn’t seem like a good sign. Neither was her screaming at me. Usually, she lets me get away with anything, but this crossed a line. She told me I couldn’t stick around Court for Christmas, not with Lord Drozdov there too. She needs to smooth things over, and me sitting next to him at Christmas dinner might throw that off.   Two weeks on “vacation” with Nathan Ivashkov? Looks like I really am going to suffer in new and terrible ways.
Yeah, like.. morals?
Don't think she'll go that long.
There’s some kind of high school field trip going on at this ski resort. I mean, I guess they’re technically here because of some dire threat to their lives, but you’d never guess it by the way they’re acting. I actually saw some guy ask his friend to give some girl a note asking if she’d go out with him. I nearly stopped to tell him to ditch the note and just use some Adrian Ivashkov Pro Tips, but I didn’t have that kind of time because I was on my way to the bar. There’s something about having so many people packed in here…it’s making it harder to think. I’ve ended up in other people’s dreams without meaning to and then have to act innocent if they mention it the next day. I also have trouble shutting out all these auras. It’s such a blur that I’ll just lose track of what’s going on. Being alone helps make it more bearable. Painting helps a little too. Rum helps a lot.
The one good thing about this snow-covered nightmare is that I met a cute dhampir girl tonight. She was playing hard to get, but I’m pretty sure she likes me.
omg my Adrian & Rose shipper heart is loving this. OMG "I met a cute dhampir girl" can't imagine Adrian calling Rose cute "I'm sure she likes me"
As for Sydney, well he did think that she was a bit uptight.
Yeah, Adrian would usually just call Rose beautiful, not cute.
