Chapter 59

“Blot that it’s any of my business, but, uh why do you have bloud on

“For the vampires,” she replied, giving Beatrice a look that said ‘how is that not obvious?

“Okay, new question. Uh.. how do you have blood on tap?”

Claire rolled her eyes. “Don’t be weird about it. All the blood is from donations. Some patrons will donate a pint or two for free drinks, so we’ve pret bunch of different kinds.”

“But I’d have known if you’d told me.”

“And then what, Bea? What would that have changed for you?”

Beatrice besitated, then grimaced “Okay, fine I get the why, but it doesn’t stop me frog beg uyed with you right
