The more I got to know Adina, the more I became convinced that my favorite brown-skinned Aboriginal Australian Amazon was like me, a woman who loves w...omen. We hung out, going to Hoyts Melbourne Central Cinema to watch movies together and also hanging out at restaurants and spas. Just two girls hanging out and enjoying each other’s company, or so I’d like everyone to think. I find myself growing really fond of Adina Djalu, and discovering the City of Melbourne with her by my side is something I. Guess that means she's unpacked. It didn't help my mood andwhen I got to the corner by the living room saw that she was watchingthe American Idol search show, it was just beginning. Nothing likewatching a train wreck. I wondered if she could sing or if there wassome fascination there for her with this show. I went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, pulling a bottle ofwater out. She was looking my way and I held it up as if to offer herone, "You want one?" Yes, to Thank you," she. “Now Kyet’sol gets to argue her side. If we win? Score! If I lose...” Veronyka winced visibly.Adam shot her a stare. “If you lose, what?”“Death, probably.” Ben grunted. “That’s usually how things work around here.”Veronyka nodded. “What he said.”“What rule did you say she broke?” Adam wondered.“The requirement that Challengers get safe-passage once everything is done successfully.” Veronyka informed them.Ben glanced up at her. “What about me? Why didn’t I get to support you? I’m the one who got. “Dude, you’re a Ventrue. Embrace it.”“Uh huh. Um, Antoinette, did you—”“I would prefer to spend the night together, you and I, my love.”Jack shrugged and nodded toward Triss. “You heard the lady.”“But,” the Prince continued, “I would like to speak to Beatrice privately. If you do not mind, my love.”She did? Well, sure, probably to talk about Jacob, Samantha, and the nasty shit Triss was up to that Antoinette had to know something about.“Yeah. Let us in.” Triss folded her arms across her chest.
