“Oh, I’m so thrilled, darling!”
“Me too, honey!”
The two young vampires leaned in close, ready to affirm their love. But just as their lips touched...explosive flames blew their new house to smithereens. Unable to comprehend what had happened, the two stood dumbfounded in the ruins. That was when Chirpy flew right between them.
