"Angelique was determined not to be intimidated by this sally."I agree it must seem terribly confusing for you but do remember thatfor me it is also c...onfusing. Now you are Lady Westhaven but after mymarriage you will become Aunt Clara," she said and smiled sweetly.To her surprise Lady Westhaven laughed in a pleasant manner."Touch? Angelique, touch?. I am pleased to see that you have spirit;you will need that and more in the days and years ahead."She sighed and shook her head."I won?t pretend. Rory?"Good guess."I didn't know if you'd be working or not," I replied, as I sat on my bedroom floor, leaning back against the bed with the phone to my ear. "You said three o'clock." I'm on my way there now," Seth replied.I glanced at the clock. That made sense. It was just past two forty-five. But it seemed much earlier in the day to me. Maybe that was because it was one o'clock before I woke up to Eddie asking me if I wanted to go driving. We didn't spend too much time out there, though. Just. "The Senior partners? You still don't get it do you Angel? You mean nothing to them; you're an insect beneath their notice." That's why they spent so much time trying to recruit me and trying to corrupt me into being one of their flunkies huh?" shot back the chained vampire. He knew he needed to anger Lindsey. People who lose control are more likely to make mistakes. Besides, Angel knew damn well that he had severely stuck it to the Senior Partners and their plans.The word "Flunkies" triggered. As was his habit at 9 pm sharp he excused himself and went to bed. We had put the boys down at 7:30 and they were fast asleep, though they had fought it valiantly to peek around the corner to see Jake, and the pretty girl he was with. Kara was tired from her flight, and so I took her back to Sheilas room and got her settled in. When I came back into the living room Jake was out on the patio drinking a beer and smoking a cigar. I hadnt known he started smoking. We never had. It made him look.
