Chapter 110

• Ian’s POV
• The restaurant was one of those high-end places that served food in portions too small to satisfy even a child. But I wasn’t here for the food. Neither was Jacob, Jenny, or Sophia. Tonight was about taking a break—pretending that the chaos of the vampire world, the constant danger we faced, and the stress of keeping secrets didn’t exist. Tonight, it was just the four of us, trying to be normal, whatever that meant.
• I glanced across the table at Sophia, who was laughing at something Jenny had said. That laugh—her laugh—had the power to lift the weight off my shoulders, even if just for a moment. She caught me looking, and a smile spread across her face, her eyes twinkling in the dim candlelight. God, she was beautiful. She was everything.
