Autumn snorted. "Yeah, right," she mumbled. "I swear, if I couldn't sense when people are lying, I would swear that you all are..."

Daemon's smile turned wry as he said, "I wouldn't lie about something like that."

Autumn raised an eyebrow at him. "Sure you wouldn't," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I do try not to lie when it isn't necessary," he explained. "So unless I was contracted to kill you, in which case I would woo you to get close enough to do so, I would have no ulterior motive in complimenting you."

Autumn sighed. "Sorry," she mumbled. "I guess I'm just being really insecure." She crossed her arms, shaking her head. "Classic post-breakup insecurity. I can't believe I'm reduced to that... Especially since I'm convinced that I'm over it."

Daemon rolled one shoulder in a shrug and said, "You're entitled to a healthy mourning period. It's when things go from healthy to obsessive that there's a real problem."

Autumn shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm not going that far," she said. "I'm happy he has Edward. I'm just... I guess I'm just depressed that I couldn't do that for him. What I really need though is a serious reality check so that I can get on with my life."

"How about this for one? You are a beautiful, charming girl. There are tons of men out there who would be lucky to have you - all you'd have to do is point at the one you want. And I don't have any ulterior motives for saying that either."

Autumn smiled softly at him. "Thanks, but I don't think the one I want to point at will be very happy about it," she said. "And no, it's not Chaosti."

Daemon snorted and said, "I can't imagine why."

Autumn sensed that he really wasn't lying, so she decided to take a risk. She raised her eyebrow at him. "And if it was you?" she asked.

Daemon stared at her for a moment and then said dryly, "Then I would have to once again question the stability of your mind."

Autumn sighed. Guess that was a bad idea then... she thought. "I think that's been questioned enough," she said. "I the answer always seems to be the same: there is no stability."

"Clearly," Daemon said dryly. He sighed, looked out over the dance floor, and then said, "Well. Speaking as one insane person to another, would you care to dance?"

Autumn chuckled softly and nodded, giving him a small smile. "Sure," she said. "It won't be the most insane thing I've ever done."

Daemon laughed as well, a touch bitterly, and said, offering his arm, "We'll see about that."

Autumn raised her eyebrow at him again, taking his arm. "If you make me use my powers to hold up this dress, I'm going to be very upset," she commented.

Daemon chuckled as they walked out onto the dance floor, placing a hand on her waist and the other in her hand. "There's always the option of not trying to hold it up."

Autumn put her free hand on his shoulder and gave him a disapproving look. "And have to listen to almost every guy's mind go straight to the gutter with disgusting fantasies? No thanks. The only guys that wouldn't would be Logan, Chaosti, Edward, Jasper, and you. Well, actually, I wouldn't be able to hear yours either way."

Daemon gave a sardonic smile and said, "Obviously you don't know my mind very well."
