As far as I could tell, the sex-and-feeding thing was something my kind only did in the movies. I mean, when I was human, and my mother made me wring a chicken's neck to be our family's dinner, it wasn't like I made out with it first. ~ Molly, on not finding it necessary to find your food source attractive.Sell-By Date is a short story from Molly's pov. We met Molly in Dead Spots as Scarlett's roommate. She was turned into a vampire at the age of seventeen. In this story we get a glimpse of a few of Molly's issues with posing as a teenager in the human world. From not being able to buy a drink to needing her manager to purchase her house for her.When Dashiell proposes having a null named Scarlett Bernard come and live with her, at first Molly doesn't like the idea of experiencing human emotions and bodily functions again but she was won over when she realized, by having Scarlett around, she'll be able to age.How does a modern, desirable human roommate behave?...An idea struck me: I could be just like one of the characters on television. What was the show with the young people who all live together and stay the best of friends? ~ Molly, on deciding how best to act around Scarlett.As excited as Molly became to the idea of a roommate, she wasn't prepared for the barrage of human emotions and memories she would be flooded with by having Scarlett around. Here we find out another reason Molly wants Scarlett to stay. If you're a fan of the series you'll love this short story! Well done!
