was only Mackenzie and not James or another one of the growing number of immortal residents in the house, she let out a pent up breath and brightened, making sure to stand in front of the flower.
    “Morning, Mackenzie,” she said, and pasted what she hoped was a smile on her face. “What can I do for you?”
    Hesitating, the young woman stepped into the room and closed the door behind her, then leaned back against it awkwardly. She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again. Ally felt a real smile form over the forced one.
    Am I really that hard to talk to?
    She obviously had something to say, but was so painfully shy, Ally decided to help her out and started the conversation. “Sit down if you like,” she said with a gesture towards the bed.
    Mackenzie sat down. Once Ally knew the flower was out of her line of sight, she went over and sat next to her. “Now, what’s wrong?” Ally gently prodded.
    Mackenzie big blue eye’s widened slightly. “Oh, nothing’s wrong. I just I wanted to ask you something, but I don’t want to sound...cold, I guess.”
    Mackenzie was a sweetheart; she didn’t believe that she could ever say something cold, unintentionally or otherwise. “I’m sure you won’t. Out with it.”
    “It’s about Chase.”
    Ally frowned, but nodded encouragingly.
    “How is he? We haven’t seen him since he lost Kathryn.”
    “James spoke to him last week and he’s doing ok,” Ally said. “James got the feeling he’s still pretty cut up about what happened to Kat…But I guess we all are.”
    Mackenzie dropped her head and began to fiddle with her dress. Ally could see the slightest bit of pink colouring her creamy white cheeks.
    “Do you know where he is?” Mackenzie asked.
    “London.”
    She looked up and her eyes met Ally’s. “London? What on earth is he doing in London?”
    “Killing as many vampires as he possibly can, I believe,” Ally informed her.
    Mackenzie gasped and her blue eyes widened again. “But he could be killed himself!”
    Ally cocked her head to one side and began to speak. “You’ve known him for a long time, but that isn’t the voice of someone concerned for a friend…”
    Turning a very bright shade of red, Mackenzie turned her head away from Ally.
    “I’m sorry,” Ally said. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
    “I know that…” she replied as she felt the unshed tears threatening to fall. “I’m just living in a fantasy land when it comes to Chase.”
    Ally raised her eyebrows. “I’m not sure that’s true. But I still don’t understand why you thought you would offend me.”
    She bit her lip and hesitated before revealing the truth to Ally. “Because your best friend was his soulmate, and now she’s dead. And here I am asking you about him, when I should just forget about it. It was never meant to be…”
    The unshed tears began to fall unbidden from her eyes. Ally wrapped her arms around her and let the girl sob into her shoulder. Her heart was breaking for Mackenzie. She remembered those five lonely years after she had met James, when she thought that he hadn’t cared. It was a feeling she wouldn’t wish upon anyone, especially not Mackenzie.
    “Are you certain Chase doesn’t feel that way about you?”
    Mackenzie sniffed and lightly she shook her head. “I’ve seen the way James looks at you. The look an immortal gives their soulmate is unmistakable.”
    Ally thought for a moment. “Something wasn’t right between Kat and Chase. And I’ve seen him look at you in the way you’re talking about.”
    A small light of hope flickered in Mackenzie’s eyes. “Chase was acting strange the night before he left to rescue Kathryn. I thought that maybe…but I was wrong.” She looked up at Ally, the guilt was there to see. “I felt terrible because I was so happy that he might feel the same way about me, but at the same time I knew Kat had been taken by the vampires and was in serious trouble…I never wished her any harm, I
