She Said: A Short Story of a Vampire!: Now Includes She Said 2

Until Miranda appeared one dark night.

Beautiful. Mesmerizing. Impossible to ignore.

Later, when she knocks on his door asking for help with her hot water system, it feels like fantasy stepping into reality. He follows her without hesitation.

Miranda is Baobhan Sith.

And she's starving.
