Night Stalker Susan-Restless
Andrew rented them a room at a downtown hotel. He said it would take a few days to get a new apartment found and appropriated. Susan didn’t care where they stayed, she was just glad to be back in the city. Going home had not been a pleasant experience for her and she wanted to forget it.
“Let’s go out,” she said to Andrew after they were settled in the room.
“What did you have in mind?”
“I’m hungry,” she replied with a shrug. “Let’s find somewhere to feed. I’m out of bad guys at the moment. Is there anyone you want to get even with?”
Andrew laughed, “It’s been a long time since I associated with people, dear. Everyone I had grievances against is long dead.”
With a raised eyebrow, Susan asked, “Exactly how old are you?”
“Two hundred and ten years old.”
“Two hundred!” she sputtered.
Andrew smiled and shrugged. “What can I say, I’m an old fart.”
Susan laughed at such a saying coming from stuffy Andrew. He was always so prim and proper that when he came up with something like that it took her aback.
“It’s nice to hear you laugh,” he told her.
She sighed, “I know I haven’t been much fun the last few nights.”
“It’s ok. You had things that needed fixed. I’m glad I could help.”
“I do appreciate all you’ve done for me, Andrew.”
Andrew took her hand. Pulling her close, he whispered, “That’s what friends are for.” He then placed a light kiss on her forehead before he said, “Let’s go see if we can’t find something to get your mind off your troubles.”
