Flare Damian has meetings all afternoon, and since I don’t know with whom, I don’t want to take the chance that someone might recognize me. I know from experience that the packs talk. They all share information even if they don’t see each other face-to-face often. The very last thing I need is for my family and Damian to meet. I spend the afternoon walking through the hotel shops and find a bookstore. I’m happy when I find a book that I like and, a short while later, I’m curled up on the couch in our room, completely engrossed in my book. I’m half disappointed when Damian finally arrives, and I am forced to put my book down. Mike told me earlier to find an evening dress that I like and that Damian is taking me out for dinner again. Damian and I move around each other while we get ready,
