Summary
“Are you okay?” said Seb, when they had all sat down. The night was black and noiseless and it sat like a blanket over the five of them.
Nile was quiet as she drew her knees up to her chest against the cold. “Not really,” she admitted.
The fireworks were gorgeous. They’d bought a lot of red and gold, and they trailed down together over and over again to fizzle out against the huge backdrop of the open sky. When she shut her eyes she could see them light up the darkness through her closed eyelids.
“I was never meant to live this long,” she said, voice tucked like a secret under the noise. “I was never supposed to see this. You get me?”
“I do. I’m sorry.”
Nile turned to him and tilted her head. “You’re the best thing about my life, you know,” she said. “All of you.” She glanced at her watch, and back up at the stars. It had gone midnight. She’d been six years old this time a hundred years ago, staring up at the sky.

"Would you be there with me if it was?"
1999. After months on the run from the Talamasca, Louis just wants to spend Christmas in New Orleans with Lestat. Will either of them ever manage to say what they actually mean? Featuring religious imagery and a trip to Montgomery Ward.
