"being snack food for vampires among other things." That sounds ominous, especially given this series' relentless interest in non-con sex. Also, I'm surprised that LKH remembers Stephen or his earliest appearance.
But...how can he be food for VAMPIRES during the DAY? The ILLOGIC! IT BURNS!
And what he's wearing and how he's wearing his hair This is SUPER IMPORTANT, especially in light of the "plot" threads.
"he wasn't on my food list" because he is "cute enough but just not that kind of friend." I like how the fact he's with Vivian isn't mentioned at all as a reason for him not being on her sex schedule. We've seen how she respects monogamy and personal choice and people who reject her advances Additionally, he sounds exactly like her type. I'm surprised that she hasn't put him on her schedule, especially since he has an identical twin who is also in her power. Maybe Richard won't let her? He used to be quite protective of Stephen.
Graham doesn't know how to spell 'assassins', so Stephen, whom we are reminded has cornflower-blue eyes, does it. Clearly, LKH doesn't know much about texting. Also, she has yet to discover the thesaurus, either, because "paid contract killers" or just "paid killers" would work just as well as "assassins".
Because Anita not liking him means Graham is dumb and useless, I guess Also, he had an IDEA, a SMART one. Anita doesn't even have those. He must be punished muchly.
"he might be creepily overattached to me" MIGHT? MIGHT BE?
has "clients to see in the afternoon" at her job What? She still goes to that? And they LET her? (Or maybe she refuses to accept that Bert's finally fired her. At this point, Anita HAS to cost the firm cost more than she brings in to it. And it seems unlikely that ANYONE would want to work with her.)
She keeps feeling "a small screaming part of me" saying that "Richard is in danger" So now she's psychic? Seriously?
"he was right. I should have told our men first." Leaving aside her "our men" comment, shouldn't they be telling RAFAEL not BOBBY LEE? Since they're HIS minions.
Richard, it turns out, is on a date and his bodyguards don't follow him on dates. Richard is ALWAYS swiftly and immediately punished for dating Women Who Are Not Anita, Those Perfidious Bitches. He gets accused by one girlfriend. Another is more interested in being Lupa than in him. A third works for Chimura. And this one is going to get him shot. Plus assorted other badness.
Anita decides to "worry about it [the date] later" And Anita is always, ALWAYS jealous of these new girls, even if she never sets eyes on them and isn't dating or even speaking to Richard at the time. I'd be worried about that if I was the guy Richard is based on or his new significant other.
Shang-Da says to just use her telepathic link to contact Richard Guh! That would make dates awk-ward! Really, really awkward! Also! The violation! Again! This falls under that rape-thing again.
harrumphs that JC doesn't shut her out ...that she knows of. JC is very adept at manipulating people, events, circumstances, Anita. Plus, he's manipulated the bond between them and used it to hide things from Anita before.
Richard says "I can't hide forever." This seems unreasonable but, in context, he has a point. Anita rarely ever leaves JC's underground lair. Hardly anyone who lives there has been allowed to visit the outside world since Anita took up sex, including JC, Asher, Nathaniel, Micah, Jason, or Nick. And when Anita does venture out, she brings the bulk of it with her. He's quite right to avoid the sucking vortex that is Anita and Co. His only mistake is not immediately hanging a U-turn and checking into a cheap, pay-by-the-day and names-are-for-losers hotel. also, since Anita's difficulties and emergencies were of her own damn creation, I have no sympathy for her irritation at Richard.
