Someone's tailing me. I can feel their eyes like a knife at my back. Most likely trying to determine whether the heir to the Blackwell empire is behind the illegal shipments they've been sniffing around. Pathetic.
They're wasting their time.

I can't stop thinking about her.
Even distracted, she runs our world with surgical precision. Her brilliance is unsettling. Addictive.
"Stop at the open fast food place," I said. "Then we head home."
My driver gave a short nod. We rolled into the greasy halo of the drive-thru lights. I placed an order—things Livana wouldn't normally touch. Greasy, strange, comfort food for mortals. I want her to taste something absurd tonight. Something unexpected.
