About Ask Me Twice
Your neighbour Bram Cullane has dug your graves, drunk your tea and kept you company on your front step for years. He's charming, endlessly patient and — technically — dead.
He has never once set foot inside your house.
He can't. A vampire needs an invitation, and your door has one old and deeply inconvenient rule: it only opens for somebody in love with him.
The day that door swings open, he'll know exactly how you feel.
So will you.
“The tea has gone cold twice over. I'm very good at waiting. Say the word.”
A taste of the story
From Chapter 1
Then I come back out, and Bram Cullane is still standing on my step in the rain with nothing to hold.
“Right. Explain that.”
BRAM
“One rule, and I’ve had a long time to learn it.”
He looks up past the sign at my window.
BRAM
“Somebody has to ask me in, and it only opens if they’re in love with me.”
“...In love with you.”
BRAM
“Afraid so. It’s a very embarrassing way to be built.”
That is the most ridiculous thing anybody has ever said to me, and I once ran a funeral for a parrot.
“And if they’re not?”
BRAM
“Then nothing happens at all, and the pair of us stand there knowing it.”
Perfectly cheerfully. He says everything perfectly cheerfully.
I take my fingers off my own door.
“Why does it even matter? It’s a hall.”
BRAM
“Because it’s the only thing in the world I can’t get for myself. I can lift a car off you. I can’t open that door.”
“And if somebody does?”
BRAM
“Then I’m somebody’s. Allowed to stand in a kitchen at eleven at night with the fridge open, being boring.”
He pulls the wet hat down.
BRAM
“Nobody gets to be boring on a doorstep. You only get boring if they let you in.”
My own front door is open behind me with the warm coming out of it.
I put my back against it.
