BOOK FOUR: ETERNAL DAUGHTER SERIES

Candlelight sparkled in his eyes, pale flames reflecting back across the table between us, dancing briefly as a waiter in a fitted black apron and crisp, white shirt drifted by on soft feet.

For once my hair seemed to be behaving itself, at least for now, piled in a coil of shining curls thanks to my best friend's talent and stubborn refusal to let my messy mane win. I was even wearing lip gloss to tint my mouth from its normal pale, mascara, a bit of blush so my skin didn't seem quite so ghostly. My fingers brushed against the drop of diamond at my throat, the necklace a gift from my faithful advisor and clasped there by its platinum chain just a few minutes ago.

It felt like an eternity.
