A sense of brushing close to a nightmare and drifting away. A thrill ride.

"I'm already a fan."

For better or for worse. Daniel should hate him, maybe. But even if Lestat rages against what's there in the book, a person crafted from impressions of others who have the worst of complicated connections, Daniel championed him in the end. He thought about leaving the twist out of it - the same kind of twist he mocked as being out of a soap opera - but maybe he was too proud of breaking the case. Too offended, somehow, on Lestat's behalf. He felt like a fictional character.

What a night.

"Thanks for the rescue, Lestat."
