Quotes[]
Natalie's grin broadened. LaCroix had come to visit, shortly after the birth of the twins, on a night when Don and Myra and Jenny had happened to be visiting... the scene was etched clearly into her mind. Schanke, feet propped up on the coffee table, swigging from a bottle of blood and watching a hockey game, rooting loudly for the home team; Myra, primping in front of the mirror, touching up the layers of makeup covering the everpresent vampire bite on her neck; Jenny, folding baby clothes fresh out of the dryer, grunge rock blasting out of her headphones as she gyrated to the music and sang under her breath -- both babies squalling at the top of their tiny little lungs; Nat trying to feed Nathan while Nick changed Nicole's diaper -- LaCroix had surveyed the room with absolute astonishment.
"You're living in hell," he'd said incredulously, to Nick, and walked out... and had not bothered to trouble any of them since.
