From across the street Selene watched the young woman as she wistfully gazed at the bottle of water. It was not her drink of choice, the disappointment shown in her sparkling eyes. They matched the gem that danced on her finger. Selene was newly married and still feeling the euphoric high from the last few weeks of anticipation and bliss.
Walking across the empty street she continued to watch. Her eyes, ears and nose doing much of the investigative work for the vampiress. The girl with the golden hair was not alone where she sat. She was with child. A faint, fast heartbeat could just barely be heard.
Selene smirked. "How far along are you?" She pointed to the bottle of water, not wanting to startle the girl. "You are looking at that bottle as if you wished it were something else."
