This excerpt is the beginning of a conversation with our heroine Jessica Stone and her human best friend and business partner Elizabeth Gormond. I thought today we could take a break from werewolves and vampires, and see a little human perspective for a change... (don't worry, I have more vampire action lined up for next week!)
Liz stared at me for a few moments.
“I know that Jack is a vampire, and that Danny, Simon and Sally are werewolves,” she said slowly, “I know what really happened to you, and I know that the two women who came to our shop were also werewolves. Rob told me that much. Can you tell me exactly what has been happening while I had a baby?”
I smiled at her, and my heart lifted a little. Liz was still able to offer sarcasm, even in such a small amount. We would survive this test. She returned my smile and some of the light returned to her eyes. I realised that she was genuinely interested to hear my story, and she wanted to be a part of it. Her responsibility now was to protect her daughter, her husband, and even her best friend if she could. The least I could do was prepare her properly, although I didn’t know what I was expecting.
Don't forget that Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel) is currently free to view on Wattpad as a limited special offer. Check it out now and tell me what you think!
