Holly was short for Holiday. “Heh…” He started to grin. It was cute. She hadn’t told him that. He ended the handshake and said, “Uh, yeah. She mentioned you knew her dad, right?” Daniel unhooked his feet from the stool rungs and resettled himself. There hadn’t been any vitriol in Holly’s conversation about the woman, so he carried on clueless as to the tension between them and stretched to put his chips in his pocket.
Knew the dad… wouldn’t tell her anything… about what?
He stuck his tongue between his back teeth and tried to call up the specifics of the conversation. They had been sitting side by side on the carpet in Holly's hotel room. About the way the man died? No, about slayers. Julianna worked with Holly’s dad, a watcher who worked with slayers to stake vampires.
Ah crap. He winced, a hand remaining in his pocket as the revelation happened. He probably looked like a tourist who realized he had forgotten his car keys.
