Summary: They’re doing that no talking thing again...
Disclaimer: I own nothing and I’m making no money off of this.



They’re doing that no talking thing again. I’m watching them from where I sit across the table during a meeting and every time I look up from my papers they’re sharing a glance or a barely hidden smirk. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t this observant. I can tell what’s going on between them, even if everyone else is too deaf, dumb and blind to notice. I have no problem with it, really, but I wish they’d at least say something instead of just sharing a look or a twitch of an eyebrow.

Finally I can’t take it anymore and make my excuses as I leave the room. Before I go, though, I glance back and they’re still doing it. This time, the no talking thing is about me. They look at each other, me, then each cock an eyebrow. I growl under my breath and leave, having to hear the silent laughter of vampires in my head.

Love this. Love how you capture that unspoken speaking thing.

Thanks, hun. This went better than expected. Glad you liked it.

Your new story, The Janitor, is really amazing, by the way.
