Chapter 9: On the Other Foot Victoria kissed me on the cheek the next morning.Chapter 9: On the Other Foot Victoria kissed me on the cheek the next morning. "Good morning. Did you not sleep well?" she asked in a voice that was honey dipped in acid. I looked in the mirror. I looked as good as I felt. Ugh. We had brunch at an outdoor cafe. Jonna waited on us. Any possibility of pleasant conversation vanished when Victoria noticed the fang marks on Jonna's neck. "Her, too?" she asked. This time it was acid coated with poison. Brunch discussion centered on the closing date for the house, and the furnishings we needed. My mind wandered, because _she_ was the rich one, and _she_ was going to be spending the money. There was a definite distance between us that hadn't existed before last night. We returned home. I brooded over how to explain my revenge or my fantasies to her. I felt that I should say something in my own defense. Once I had resolved that, there was only the small matter of bringing up the subject. As for Victoria, it was as if the previous night had never happened. She seemed perfectly willing to let it stew. |
