Summary
Because une goule, that is what she is. A ghoul, a spirit, a mouth. This word's meanings come from Old French, old fears, but Claudia wears them anew on her fresh, American, ever-young face. She is le vampire, the creature here to eat the night. She is la mademoiselle, the maiden that can never grow old, the death stopped in its tracks that yet still hungers, thunders. She is contradiction entire. She is the easiest thing in the world to love, to learn, to seek. As Madeleine realizes this, the force of her affection nearly bowls her over. It is dangerous. It will likely kill her.
Claudia looks up from her nails, casts her eyes slowly across a passing riverboat.
Who cares about dangerous? She’s done that kind of love before. Now she’ll do it again. This is her life, and she’s never felt more alive.
(or: Louis gave Madeleine Catholic guilt when he made her and that might change things or it might not)
