Chapter 53

The following day we had a blast. Although my brain kept nagging at me about this or that thing I should be doing, I forced myself to relax and enjoy the manicure, pedicure, massage and facial along with my two best friends. The stylist touched up my highlights - while my golden blonde color is natural, the sun-streaks, for obvious reasons, are not - and applied just the right amount of makeup for the minimalist look I prefer - smoky liner to highlight my gray eyes and a velvety red lipstick to offset the severity of my black, slim-fitting evening gown. Dani had hired her staff very well for the spa, which had been one of her personal projects with the hotel. They even fed us, both with blood and wine cocktails and a selection of appetizers and chocolates. Contrary to popular belief, vampires can and do enjoy human food as well as blood.
