Cara Mason woke to a fabulous day. The sun was shining, birds were singing, she had classes to look forward to. Pretty much the only thing missing was the presence of her friends, or else a journey book so she could tell them just how much they all meant to her. That would make the day absolutely perfect.

Though on reflection maybe it was a good thing she didn't have one, she had no idea how she'd use it when the very sight of blood made her queasy.

She considered lazing about in bed for a while, but then she might miss Professor Mick's class, and could never live with herself if she did that. Plus she needed to figure out what to wear today. Something pretty, so she looked as good to others as she felt about herself.
