I tensed at the unexpected attention.

“You’re Sarah, right?” he asked.

“Uh…”

“I’m Jeremy.” He smiled wide enough to show off his shiny white fangs. “Amy’s told me all about you, but your reputation precedes you, of course.”

I flicked a confused glance at Amy, and then back at Jeremy. “Um…”

His grin widened. “Maybe we can get a private table so we can get to know each other a bit better.”

I shot Amy a horrified look as it all started to click in.

Was this a… a blind date?

Oh, hell no.

Amy cleared her throat nervously at my expression. “Jeremy works at the office in the HR department. When I realized he’s a vampire, too, I knew you two would be absolutely adorable together. So I kind of asked him to join us here tonight. You know, without telling you first.”

The last blind date Amy had set up for me resulted in a hickey I’d remember forever since the guy had bitten me and turned me into a vampire. Needless to say, I wasn’t a big fan of impromptu setups with strangers. Especially ones orchestrated by Amy.

“Great to meet you… uh, Jeremy, was it?” I plastered a smile on my face while my eyes tracked back to my Cupid-playing blond friend. “Can I talk to you for a minute, Amy? In private?”

She nodded tightly. “Mmm hmm.”

“We’ll be back in just a sec. Talk amongst yourselves.” I slid off the leather-covered barstool and sidestepped Jeremy and George as I threaded my way through the crowd of thirsty, club-going vampires toward the hallway leading to the washrooms. Amy trailed silently behind me.

“Really?” I said after we were out of earshot and away from the loud music. “You’re kidding me, right?”

“But he’s so nice. You haven’t even given him a chance.”

“I’m sure he’s the nicest vampire bachelor in the city. This has nothing to do with him.”
