Chapter 55 Stranger Danger

• "Come on in." Maybe I wasn't the only one wanting to make a good first impression. Silas was acting the nicest I had ever seen him. There was a kind smile on his face as he led our guest to the living room. I walked behind them, my legs feeling a bit too heavy, and I had to drag them.
• This whole scene would have been lovely, just neighbors getting to know each other, if only I didn't know that our neighbor was the main reason why my life was a mess. He was the one who had single-handedly changed the world into a horrible place. And yet here he was, pretending to be a normal human who attended the same college as me.
• I was confused about how Silas wasn't able to recognize him as a vampire. Surely their scent wasn't something they could just hide so easily. But then again, this was the Devil we were talking about. I sat beside my boyfriend on the sofa, despite the fake smile I forced on my lips as I watched the two of them talk. The tension was bleeding from my shoulders. Silas was quick to notice my discomfort.
