That Bit Extra— A New Addiction...? (Patreon)

As Farah/Felix and I make our way towards the door, she/he pauses and glances back to Mason/Morgan.

"I noticed you were almost empty. You want me to get you some more cigarettes while I'm out?" she/he asks in practiced way that makes me think this is a regular thing.

"No."

The room falls silent at Mason/Morgan's simple reply.

Farah/Felix stutters for a moment. "What?"

Mason/Morgan raises a brow in return, only now noticing the intense attention on him/her from the other vampires. A selection of shock and confusion fall across their faces.

"What?" he/she snaps. "I don't need any."

Farah/Felix glances between me and Mason/Morgan—and then again—before a slow smile forms.

I've been waiting to write this small scene since I first thought of it during the writing of Book Two! It was so nice to get it out onto 'paper', hehe! :D
