It’s a sweet setup, I’ll admit. For all that the maids STILL show up each day with jumbo crucifixes, jumpy movements, and red eyes from crying over the short straw that drew them vampire duty.’ Yesterday, she’d just stopped herself from raising her clenched hands above her head and chasing one of them around the room groaning, ‘I vant to suck your blood.
