“Are these heated seats?” she asked.
“Uh-huh,” he replied. He was strangely quiet. What was he thinking about?
“They’re nice.”
“Glad you like them,” he said dryly as he pulled up outside her house.

To her shock, he turned the car off and then undid his seatbelt.
“What are you doing?” she asked.

“You thought I lived in the slums, didn’t you?” she said lightly.

“Well, good night.”
“Not going to ask me in, Little Blossom?” he asked, his voice tinged with amusement.
Invite him in?
No. Nope. You never invited the Prince of Darkness into your house.
“Oh, wait, that’s vampires,” she muttered.
