"Don't worry. You won't have to get your shoes dirty," he said, perhaps a little more reflexively snappy than he should be, especially when she didn't rise to the last bait.
He rolled his shoulders, then nodded down a row of cars. No, if he was going to be playing chauffeur to some prissy vampire princess from the old world, he was entitled to be a little fucking bitchy about it. It's not like he was making her walk, or get her own ride.
Of course, there might have been some satisfaction anticipating her reaction to his ride. Somehow, he didn't think his battered old jeep was going to be up to her highness's standards. He led the way, pointing with his chin when they were close and even going so far as to open the door for her to get in before him.
He might be bitchy about the whole vampire thing, but his ma didn't raise him to be rude to a woman. Funny how things work.
"Not the smoothest ride around town, but it might come in handy once we're up in the woods."
