Kathrine slumped in her seat beside Hailey at the gas station. Hailey was preoccupied reading a book. Sarah had wanted to kick Hailey out of the settlement the moment she was no longer in danger of dying, but Kathrine insisted that she be allowed to stay. Kathrine wanted to find out anything that Hailey knew about Paul and about Elyon. This woman, however dangerous or ill-intentioned, had information.
"What?" Hailey asked, annoyed.
"I was just wondering what Paul said to you," Kathrine smirked. "Also, I noticed you look very pretty. Now that you're not a vampire, I mean."
Hailey's face turned red, and she looked out the window as she spoke. Had Kathrine embarrassed her? Was she angry? It was hard to tell, Hailey acted very strange. She hadn't known this woman long, but there was something strange about the way Hailey acted around her.
