The bar is a cave of dim light and murmured conversations. Claire lounges on the stool next to you, her guard down for once. Then your pupils blow wide, the irises flooding with a vicious, glowing crimson. The warm scent of living blood thickens the air until it's all you can taste; every heartbeat in the room pounds against your skull like a trapped bird. Claire stiffens. She sees the change, watches it happen, and her face shutters from relaxed confusion to cold alarm. Her hand closes around your forearm, grip tight as a vice, and she’s hauling you toward the door, muttering through gritted teeth about the endless trouble you bring.
