For two pins I'd take you away from the lot of them!

The cool air stung her face, and she thought she could feel the water in it as she gazed out along the beach in awe. It was even better in person than on screen or in the old postcards she used to collect.

" Yeah, that's why I brought an extra jacket with me in case you got cold" she smiled softly at her friend. She was glad to see Rey so happy.

He shakes his head and gives her a tentative smile. He tries to soften the blow with a calm tone and kind words: " Mrs. King, we can skip the pleasantries. I feel as if you came here today knowing my answer in this matter. Didn't you ? You strike me as a very perceptive woman and as such - I'll come out and say it: publicly aligning myself with you and your husband's brand ? It would be something of a social suicide for my business, and that is putting it lightly. " ( Slater King is not a man he would ever align himself with. The man creeps him out & that's saying something when the antichrist doesn't want anything to do with you. )

His voice is kind, but firm in his resolve. Damien can't help but feel a strange bit of empathy for Frida, something in the way she sits across from him stoically in the face of outright rejection says she's used to making the most of a bad situation. " If I could give you some advice ? It would be to leave Slater King in the dust where you found him and instead focus on your own brand identity. I know you must think ill of me speaking so candidly about your husband - but, I have certain misgivings about his character. I am hardly ever wrong in these matters. "

His eyes meet Frida's and for a moment - he looks every bit the part of the wise patriarch seated behind the large desk:

" I see" she simply responded. Somehow he seemed to know about what used to happen on that island, but she didn't have the feeling that he used to be involved in that. Perhaps one of her husband's former guests hadn't kept his mouth shut and had been telling other important businessmen about the women on the island.

" I do appreciate your advice, and in return I will be honest with you. My husband is very sick, he hasn't been the same since his accident. It's only a matter of time before he would pass away" the truth was that she already paid a hitman to get rid of her husband, and they were going to make it look like it was a yacht accident.

" In order to kill me, they'd have to catch me first. Isn't that what you say ? "

Lisette leaned her head against Montana's shoulder, copper curls mingling against straight blonde hair. Actually, she's quite pleased that someone has stopped her; walking into a den of hunters was a foolish idea. " I was looking for information on ... family, as it were. " Lisette nearly choked on the sentimentality of the word ' family '.

" I say a lot of shit, it's hard to keep track" she chuckled. She didn't want to fight Lisette, she was just worried about her and didn't want to see her get hurt.

" I get that, dude, but that's why you need backup! You know I would gladly help you, and so will Trevor and Xavier" she was so glad that her partners had accepted Lisette right away and they liked her.

" That's awful! I'm so sorry!" she knew that if she would ever meet the vampire that had turned Finn and abandoned him she would make him pay for what he did.

" Thank you, I'm just trying my best. My younger brother, Felix, could be considered the poet of the family, I've always been more of a fighter" he had known for a long time that Felix would never agree to hurt anyone, so he had never told him about his crimes.

"The Duke of Suffolk has taken it upon himself to repeat the gossip about you and Mr. Wyatt." "And you believe it to be true?" "If I did, would I be walking here with you?"
