I take my time, savoring the solitude of the stall after the hubbub of the party.

It’s heady to be the center of attention, but also exhausting.

When I’ve finished and washed my hands, I almost collide with Gemma

Zhang. I suspect she was waiting outside the bathroom to orchestrate just this

sort of meeting.

“Mara Eldritch,” she says, holding out a freshly-manicured hand. “The

woman of the hour.”

“Gemma, right?” I say, taking the hand and shaking it.

“Did Sonia warn you about me?” she smiles slyly. “She’s quite the guard dog

for Cole Blackwell. Can’t take a step in his direction with Sonia barking at

you.”

“She’s good at her job.”

I’m trying to decide how I feel about Gemma. She’s quite lovely, elegantly

dressed in her silk jumpsuit, but there’s a wicked edge to her smile that

doesn’t put me at ease.

“You must see a lot of Sonia,” Gemma muses. “While you’re seeing a lot of

Cole. Living together already, aren’t you?”

There’s no point denying what everyone already knows.

“That’s right.”

“That was fast. Love at first sight?”

“Not exactly.”

“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Cole in love at all. Is this all part of the

rivalry?”

“What do you mean?”

“My sources tell me that it was Alastor Shaw who took an interest in you

first.”

“Your sources are wrong. I’ve barely spoken to Shaw.”
