“You're sure you don't need me to walk you home?" I say, lifting my eyebrow and giving her my most flirtatious smile.

She refuses but blushes deeply-hot pink spreading across her cheeks. As usual, I feel a wild rush of success. I love flirting more than food. Or even fighting. And evoking a blush is one of the most satisfying results I can hope for.

“Must you insist on walking around the house naked, Jules? It makes me feel like I’m living in some kind of sordid fraternity house.”
“I’m not naked.” I say, pointing to the towel around my waist.

Gaspard shakes his head mournfully and wanders off toward the kitchen, mumbling, “I am living with cretins.”

“Their poses are all different but the face is the same. Painted from memory in scene after scene is the fresh-faced beauty. Kate.
