Opening a club was hard work, work that Inora had never intended to do and yet it was what she found herself involved in right now.
Ali had opened her big mouth, had told Nix about what Sevanni had done and Nora had nearly died of fear. Now he would come after her...he'd promised he would. And Sevanni seemed like someone who would do their best to keep promises if those promises involved pain being given to someone else.
So Inora had waited, frozen in terror, for the other proverbial foot to drop and her friends had sensed it. What she'd needed was to hide out, to go someplace that Sevanni would never look for her, and even if he did he would never find her.
Nixie, Ali, Rose, and Inora had had this idea for the club for a long time. A place just for vampires and werewolves, where they could be themselves without care, where the two species could meet and mingle. Perhaps a place that could lead to the easing of the tensions between the two species, one could dream right?
After Life, the name was perfect for a bar that catered largely to the vampire crowd. Yes, the name said nothing about werewolves but that would have been hard to do without completely giving it away. But After Life was now Nora's Only Life. She had been shipped off under the pretense of starting the club on it's feet, but she knew, they all knew, that she was just there to hide.
At least they'd sent her company. Inora still had no idea how they'd managed to convice Dominic to come with her, but he was the perfect companion. Sevanni didn't know him, didn't know that the two of them knew each other. He was also nice and quiet, so if Inora didn't want him around, it would be like he wasn't even there. But so far she'd liked having him around, though he seemed a little stuffy, treated her strangely, like he was scared that she was going to just break down at any moment.
A few weeks ago that would have been true, she would have been ready to break down at any moment, but now she was much happier and she'd begun to revert back to herself a lot more daily. And she'd grown to trust Dominic, even like him. Though that unfortunately meant that the attraction she'd grown toward him was showing more clearly now too, to her at least. She thought she was managing to hide it from him pretty well, no love sick puppy act here. Not like she'd been with Daniel Conteo...no sir, she really liked Nic. More than just his looks too.
He was sweet, and considerate, and he'd held her confidence with her friend even when he hadn't known her. Stayed to make sure that Inora was alright, even though he hadn't had to.
Yeah, he was definitely worth her interest and the more she got to know him the more she became to think that he was worth even more than that.
Sitting in the big open space, at one of the stools in front of the bar, Inora was smiling and rifling through some of the papers she had to sign to make this into a real business. She'd gotten them all from the necessary office buildings and she'd taken real care to make sure she hadn't missed any details. But now her eyes were starting to hurt from all the paperwork so she set her head down on the cool wood top of the bar and closed her eyes, letting the music that she had pumping through the newly installed speaker system roll over her.
She let out a sigh of contentment and relaxed into her pose.
