Arabella looked at Lucian in surprise and a little anger herself.“You know, Lucian, when someone doesn’t answer a knock at the door that usually means one of two things. One, they are not at home and two, they do not wish to be bothered. Now, which one do you think applies here?”Arabella’s reprimand Lucian who became red in the face until the tip of his ears looked like they could catch fire. He threw her mail down on the table with no regard for the food that sat there. Anger rose but Lucian kept his voice level.“There’s your mail, Arabella. I suggest you notify the mail office that your address is not at Jack’s home.” Lucian kept his cool but inside, he was seething.

Don’t you find her an unusual human?”“Well, yes but … ““No buts about it.” Gabriel cut Adora off before she could utter another word. “She is as different from humans as we are.

Adora was standing beside him.“What are you talking about?” He was taken slightly by surprise. Then he laughed at himself. There was no way this woman knew what he was thinking.Adora gave him a mocking smile and pointed to herself. “I know what happened to you two and I know what is happening now.

Maybe, Lucian Alexander, we can help each other.”Lucian stopped staring at Arabella and turned to face Adora giving her his complete attention“What do you mean by saying we are in the same boat.
