True-Blood-gorging?” Corrine flops down onto a bright pink bean bag next to the sofa.
    “We did Twilight last time. I’m voting Vampire Diaries,” Dina states whilst pouring out glasses of Pinot Grigio. Corrine passes me a glass of Shloer which I thank her for.
    “Nah, let’s do True Blood. Joe Manganiello is smokin’ hot,” Macy pipes up.
    “What, and Ian Somerhalder isn’t? Please, girl. I vote Vampire Diaries.” I side with Dina and Corrine looks torn.
    “I’m tossing a coin,” she states and we all watch her flick a pound coin into the air before grabbing it in mid-air and slapping it onto the coffee table, her hand still covering it. “Heads for Ian. Tails for Joe.”
    “I’d give Ian head, too.” Dina sniggers and we all fall into a fit of giggles.
    “Well, I’d take Joe’s tail any day, too.” Macy snorts, making us all crack up laughing again. When we calm, Corrine lifts her hand, exposing the pound coin, head’s up.
    “Damon Salvatore wins.”
    “Hello, brother,” I say in a sexy voice, knowing it’s Ian Somerhalder’s first line in the show. We have vamp fests way too often. Corrine puts disc one into the DVD player and we all pick what we want from the Chinese takeout menu before I place our order. Once we are settled, Corrine picks up the remote but before she hits the play button she turns to me.
    “Hey, Lana, if you want Dayton’s phone number I bet Macy could give it to you.”
    “Yeah, I heard you and him hooked up at the weekend. Way to go, Lana,” Dina congratulates but I’m shaking my head.
    “We didn’t hook up. We talked, that’s it.”
    “Well, whatever you said got him intrigued because he was asking Ross all about you on Sunday. I told him to send you a friend request on Facebook because I didn’t wanna give your number out without your permission,” Macy explains before taking a sip of her wine.
    “Yeah, I’ve spoken to him, he came into work today and we’re meeting up tomorrow.” All three of them trade looks and I can’t help but think they know something I don’t. “Look, don’t start. It’s not like we are anything more than friends or-” Corrine cuts me off midsentence with a hand in the air.
    “He came into your workplace, Alannah. That tells us all we need to know.”
    “Aww, it’s so romantic.” Dina sighs with a far off look in her eyes.
    “He came to buy new trainers!” I protest.
    “It’s so Officer and a Gentleman.” Macy has a dreamy smile on her face.
    “He hardly swept me off my feet and carried me away into the sunset, for crying out loud.”
    I look at their wistful faces and quirk an eyebrow. I really do think they’re losing the plot here.
    “You just don’t see it how we do, Lana. It’s Dayton we’re talking about here, and you.”
    “And?” I raise my eyebrows.
    “Listen, you’ve probably guessed that Dayton has a lot of women throwing themselves at him. He is gorgeous, charming and he’s one of the biggest DJs in Manchester’s hottest nightclub. He has had to have security literally drag women out of the DJ booth! Yet he never dates. Sure, he is always polite and thoughtful about how he knocks women back, but he always knocks them back.” Corrine shrugs like she doesn’t get it. “But you get under his skin, he searches you out, drops in on you at work.”
    Now I shrug, I don’t know why I’m so different. I didn’t do anything to impress him, I’m just.. me. Dina turns to me.
    “The same with you, you’re gorgeous, men throw themselves at you.”
    “Slimeballs ogle me,” I correct her, but she continues regardless.
    “You’re amazing though, Lana. You’re caring, funny, loyal and intelligent. You’re so happy in your own little world without men. You don’t need a guy to make you happy. Yet Dayton catches your attention.”
    “It’s destiny,” Macy states and I roll my eyes.
    “You girls have watched too much sloppy vampire romance.” I smirk before whipping the remote from Corrine and
