Robin’s New Year’s resolution is straightforward: stop drinking blood. She’s a vampire with an O negative addiction and she’s going to AA to solve it—which makes sense if you accept that addiction is addiction, regardless of what substance you’re addicted to.
Alana is at the same meeting fighting different demons. The conventional kind. Neither of them is looking for connection beyond the fluorescent lights and the folding chairs and the other people trying to get their lives back.
The attraction arrives anyway. It’s immediate and inconvenient. It sits there between them like something that shouldn’t be allowed but is happening anyway.
Robin’s complication—the thing she’ll eventually have to tell Alana, the truth that changes what Alana thinks she signed up for—hangs over everything like a countdown. It’s not a question of if it comes out, just when, and what it will do when it does.
Morel and Caldwell find the comedy in the premise without letting it collapse into a single joke. A vampire at AA could be a one-liner. Instead they give Robin and Alana enough real weight that the relationship carries the book past the concept. The attraction becomes genuine. The stakes become genuine. The question of whether Alana can stay once she knows what Robin is becomes the actual question, not just the setup.
