It's Christmas eve and Sookie is all alone, when she decides to go out in her woods to investigate a 'ruckus' that woke her earlier. She finds a beat up Preston Pardloe, and takes him back to her home to treat his wounds and protect him from being attracted again. After protecting him, he seduces her all night long. He's gone when she wakes in the morning. Her behavior and all that happened the night before only becomes clear at the end of the story after a visit from her great-grandfather Niall Brigant. Okay read, I just can't warm up to Sookie.
