"Epic - yeah, sure," she laughed. "He's one of those creative, artsy kinda guys. I dumped my jock boyfriend for him." And drugs, because Jer, unlike Ty, was willing to indulge with her whenever. At the question about storybooks, she gave a shrug and followed it up with a grin. "What, you mean like that Stephenie Meyer bullshit? Nah, not really." Though they did have the vampire/human romance thing going on. Sort of. She just hadn't had time to deal with that before stupid Stefan Salvatore had staked her. They'd make things work, somehow.

Her eyes widened in surprise and the smile shifted to one of excitement while she sat forward slightly. "Wait. Are you a vampire too?" If he wasn't, this would be an awkward conversation, but it was the only thing she could think of. Thinking back to the conversation with her boyfriend, she continued. "Are you...Lee? That bossy blonde chick's guy? Jer mentioned him."
Realizing suddenly where he sat, her eyes widened again. "You're not on fire...do you have one of those pieces of bling the Salvatores have?"
