The most excitement I think ... think I’ve had in years!” Erandur gave her a skin with some wine in it. She quickly took a gulp of it. “Ah, than... you. By the gods, how do you ladies do this every day?”Serana helped her to her feet. “It helps having someone to follow, to believe in. I mean, look at me.” She smiled, allowing her fangs to show. “I was ... was being the key word here ... a vampire. Literally the treasure that Silus was talking about. I still have the fangs, maybe I’ll always have. "She sprang to her feet and looked around. "Shit! We have a lot of cleaning to do." Do we?" I asked."What do you mean?"

She handed it to my girlfriend before continuing. ‘Are you really her?’ Holly stammered, ‘I mean, are you really Mistress Anna?’ I glanced over at my girlfriend who was a little taken aback by the comment. You see, Anna only ever gave out her business cards to mature men.
