Finally caught up yesterday and reached 21,672 words while hanging out at the boyfriend's. I swear, having an SO who does NaNoWriMo is a HUGE help. We both know what the other person is going through (more or less; our writing styles do differ significantly) and don't have that imbalance that I bet one gets in a relationship where one does NaNo and the other doesn't.

"They're odd, aren't they?" a low voice asked from behind him. He flinched, spinning around to face a woman who clearly had to be Belladonna. She was tall, easily within half an inch of him. Her long, black hair was loose and flowed down her back in a way that made him want to describe it in overly flowery terms. Her eyes were such a dark blue that they looked almost purple.

She held out one hand. "Belladonna. I believe you're expecting me."

"Johnny Theremin. I sure am. Dick sent me."

"I know." She nodded toward a table. "Shall we?"

He followed her to the table, wishing desperately that she were less attractive. There were entirely too many women like this in a private investigator's life. Femme fatales weren't just for movies, he knew, and he also knew from experience that getting involved with them, while tempting, was almost always a very bad idea.
