  1. Lol. No one else has their own vampire. Poor Sophie though. She’s had to grow up way too fast. And it seems she’ll never be free from Sebastian. I’m shocked she and her mother are civil to each other. It’s got to be awful for both of them.

  2. ooh this will be a fun one I think, not to deep like last time. Fun! I will spread the word on stream too and hopefully, one day, we will see new joiners.

    PS EVERYONE I loved the stories, I think it is all getting better as we go and I seem to notice a trend in more engaged feedback. I love that. I am trying to do better at that myself.
