   Summary

   Claudia was gone, and Louis had become practised at pretending not to notice things. Like the grief in his chest that had numbed him to affection, or the weight that came with every little movement.
   Why shouldn’t it all cave in around him? He probably deserved it. After all, Lestat was not home.

   Lestat was still not home.
