The usual paparazzi photos showing celebs behaving "just like us!" made Diane laugh and shake her head. Who else would they act like? She was distracted enough by the rumor rag that she nearly jumped out of her seat when Bastian got into the car.
"Good." she responded, even though he only sounded half convinced by his own words.
Laughing at his next remark, his smile was infectious even after all the evening had thrown at them, and she grinned back.
"That sir, sounds like a wonderful plan."
Putting the car into gear she drove away from the diner into the darkness towards Bastian's home. With him in the car next to her, Diane felt the tension of being in the parking lot alone literally melt away.

The evening that never ends (att: Bastian & Reign)
"Afton Boulevard it is then." Diane said as the car came to life. "And, I can do you one better, I have heated seats."
While she was undoubtly thankful that he had sat in the backseat she did find it quite hard to not use the rearview mirror to check Bastian out. Had he sat up front there may have been a car accident.
"How do you plan on shopping stark naked? Is this the nudist end of Nachton?" She grinned into the mirror.
"I can prolly pass this frock off as a dress and go in for you. I will prolly need to get an upgrade on the outfit here too while were at it. The whole no shirt no shoes thing...you know how it goes."
Now that they were human and whole again she felt the overwhelming need to appologize for basically putting his life in danger.
"Also, I just want to say I'm sorry for tonight. If I knew that shit was going to happen I would have never brought you in there like that. I don't know who those other three people were, if they were like him or meh,....I'm just sorry."
To say that she felt stupid was an understatement. If anything the safest time to go would have been in the day time. Why hadn't she waited until the weekend?
"To think I ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes on him. I bet vampire blood doesn't come out of anything."
The shoes were long gone now but she felt awkward about the whole situation.
The clothing store was easy to locate and she pulled into a parking spot that was out of view. Her heavily tinted windows hid the fact that there were scantily clad individuals inside.
"This is the most I've ever been accidently naked in front of someone I would like you to know. At least I can say I'm glad it's you."
