"I'm just saying," Lilith drawls, her crimson eyes hidden behind oversized sunglasses, "he told me I'd ruined him for all other women."
Vaela rolls her eyes, grinning. "That's your go-to quote. You've heard that from how many?"
Lilith tilts her glass. "Seventy-eight. Seventy-nine if you count the guy who couldn't speak afterward but drooled appreciatively."
Elsuana, barely keeping her mimosa steady, blinks at them both. "You two are inhuman."
"Only technically," Lilith says, licking jam off her finger. "You should've seen my night."
"Oh please," Elsuana scoffs, straightening slightly. "I had my own... moment. And by moment, I mean a fully scheduled, consensual garden adventure with two very eager vampires and a dryad named Pinetta."
Vaela nearly spits out her drink. "Pinetta?!"
"She sprouted vines," Elsuana whispers proudly.
Lilith claps, delighted. "That's my girl!"
