âI am here now, arenât I?â
Eric responded with a mischievous smirk, watching her as she approached him. He was glad to see that she was alright. Even after all this time.
âThank you. I think.â
He added with a hint of amusement.
âGame, what game? I figured youâd find out soon enough. I own your house now. Someone had to pay the bills while you couldnât..â
Her frown grew deeper over his barbs. It was true, without her around, the house mightâve gone into foreclosure, or at least into the red with the bills to pay. âWell, I can start working at Merlotteâs this week and I can make a payment plan with you to buy my house back. Fair and square.â As much as she appreciated his help, she wanted her house back. So long as he owned it, he and other vampires could come and go as they pleased.
âWhy did you buy it? Why not warn my brother about the house and have him buy it?,â she asked, sitting down next to him on the swing.
