Important ones."

Would it be rude if I shoved the cash into my pocket right away? Probably. "Shoot. My life is an open book."

"How long ago, precisely, were you sired as a vampire?"

I frowned. "That's kind of a strange question for a job interview, isn't it?"

He shook his head and laughed. "Yeah, I guess it is, sort of."

Heather laughed, too, and reached across the table to pat my hand reassuringly. "Josh is just trying to get to know you. Besides, the company does cater to vampire clientele."

"Oh." I relaxed a bit. "Well, okay. It was exactly ten weeks ago yesterday."

"Ten weeks." He nodded. "And you've adjusted well?"

"As well as can be expected, I guess."

"I think you've done very well."

"I try." I took a sip of my coffee, cringing a bit at how bitter it tasted. I reached over to grab a few packets of sugar, tore them open, and stirred them into the dark depths.

"And since you were sired, do you notice having any special abilities now?"

I thought about that. "Well… I'd say that my senses have increased a bit, but nothing too crazy. Like my hearing's improved. And I can smell really well. Seeing in the dark is a little clearer. Do you mean things like that?"

He nodded. "That's helpful. And do you have any prophetic dreams?"

"Prophetic dreams?"

"Dreams that seem to foretell the future."

"Uh…" I frowned again. "Actually I did have a dream a few weeks ago that sort of told me that trouble was coming. And a few more that have been rather vivid. Would those count?"

He nodded. "Any other uncanny psychic abilities?"

"I won twenty bucks on the lottery last week."

"Increased strength?"

"Maybe a little, but I'm not signing up to be a professional wrestler yet." My frown deepened. "Listen, these questions are making me a little uncomfortable. What does this have to do with the job?"
