Exton

I meet Stoney's troubled eyes. "She'll be okay. She still thinks she failed Alise with the whole Jean-Marc thing, and that reminds her of her sister. Hell, her sister told her herself that she wasn't to blame, but it's not that easy to turn loose of guilt.

I'll tell you what I told Raina. Anyone who wants your kids has to come through me, and they'll have my life - or whatever you call it - before they have your kids."

I let the vampire come to the surface, just for a second, to let him see what Morgan will be dealing with, and more things that no one but Raina knows about. Only Raina knows what Angel told me on Halloween night, how my powers have increased - and that I've been practicing….

Stoney offers his hand. "I owe you more than my thanks. First my wife, now my children.

Merci, Nicholas, merci..."
