QUOTE : I catch up to his side. “That was insanity back there,” I say, because I can’t think of anything better.<br /><br />“That was hellacious,” he says, “and I’m used to events like this. Thank fuck I never went to high school.” That gets him a look or two from people who’ve overheard us.<br /><br />“You never went to high school?” I ask as we weave between couples. I don’t know why I’m surprised; nothing about Des seems particularly normal.<br /><br />But still.<br /><br />“My upbringing was a little more unconventional.”<br /><br />Because Des is a king of the Otherworld. A king.<br /><br />I took a fae king to my supernatural prom.<br /><br />Jesus. All I need is the Monster Mash playing in the background to round this out.
