Sitting up she looked around her still dark room, half expecting him to be there.

The room was empty though, but it did not slow her heart any or steady her breathing. She remembered the face. She would never again forget it.

Closing her eyes she saw it behind her eyelids, willing it to never go away. “Grayson” She breathed.

…

Violette could not go back to sleep early that morning. She lay awake staring at the ceiling trying her hardest to make sense of everything. It was all impossible wasn’t it? Though after all that had happened in the past few days she was unsure if anything was impossible.

How did she know his face, she must have seen it somewhere before to have been dreaming of it. She felt as though she were still dreaming.

Grayson was the most beautiful thing she could remember in a long time, and there was definitely something about him. It went right through her, as though he had already captured her heart. And looking into his eyes made her heart beat in a way she did not think it ever had.

And then there was that other thought, what if there were truth behind her dreams of the beautiful pale skinned man? What if Grayson Abbott was a vampire?

“You’re being ridiculous.” Violette said to herself as she thought it over. There is no such thing as vampires. And anyways she had seen him drinking a coffee right before her very eyes. That is not exactly something a vampire would be inclined to do. And she was pretty sure the coffee house did not serve blood lattes. And his eyes, they were a bright blue, not very vampire.

Violette looked over to the window across from her bed, a slight warm breeze was blowing through the small opening and she could see the sun rising. Hopeful for an actual sunny summer day, she swung her bare feet out from her blanket and made her way to the bathroom to get ready.

…

The sunrise had been a tease at best. The sun quickly made its retreat back behind the clouds once it had risen. Though the sky remained dark, the air had warmed significantly and was staying dry for a change. So Violette happily dressed in a light white sundress and comfortable flip flops. She decided to take advantage of the warm weather and venture to the beach that day.
