I smiled and took a glass off the tray.

"Thank you," I said in response.

He nodded and turned away.

Just as I took my first sip, I felt a strange disturbance; like someone was watching me. Feeling a slight chill run up my spine, I turned, and I froze when I saw Gavin on the other side of the gathering, staring at
