Nora's POV
My house has never sparkled this much. It's bizarre how difficult it becomes to slip back into ordinary life after nearly ending up in bed with a vampire who's been walking this earth for many centuries, especially when there's a possibility that some kind of underworld Gatekeeper is roaming around the Midwest.
The day before, after checking on Vivien at her family's place, I scrubbed my kitchen until it gleamed. I'm talking about the kind of cleaning that borders on obsessive. Every expired jar got tossed from my pantry, and I completely reorganized my collection of magical herbs. I even dragged the vacuum cleaner under my ancient stove.
