Aidan glanced at Krys to see if she was frightened, but she and Melissa were whispering. Melissa was explaining how silver reduced a vampire’s strength to that of a human, and Krys was asking about Mirren’s symptoms.

He fought back a smile. “What would you guess is wrong with him if he were human?”

Krys looked shocked till Melissa said drily, “Something you should probably know—they hear everything. There’s really no point in whispering around them.”

“Ah. Well.” She turned a sexy-as-hell shade of pink. “Clammy skin, pallor, tremors.” She frowned as her eyes scanned Mirren’s face. “Have you been nauseated? Vomiting?”

Everyone stared at her except Mirren, who propped his head on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes.

“He has,” Aidan said. “What would your diagnosis be?”

“Probably food poisoning.” As soon as the words were out, she groaned. “I mean, I don’t know if you eat. Well, I guess you don’t eat. You drink, or—something.” She shrugged and blushed furiously.

Mirren started laughing, a low rumble at first, and then a choking, gasping sound. Aidan stared at him. Mirren never laughed. He might smile every once in a while, but laugh?

Aidan grinned at Krys. “I’d say you’re a pretty good doctor.” In more ways than one. She’d defused the tension in the room without realizing it.
