Samantha felt a mix of excitement and apprehension as they approached Marcus's car.

Samantha nodded, watching the city lights blur past her window. "A little. Luna... she's not like anyone I've ever met before."
Marcus chuckled softly, his hand leaving the gear shift to briefly squeeze hers. "No, she certainly isn't. But remember, Samantha, knowledge is power in our world. And Luna has knowledge that spans centuries."
