I’ll stay
“I came here for a new life,” I tell him. “I guess I got what I wanted.”
Not everything. Not yet, I think, looking at this beautiful guy in front of me.
I can see his love and affection for these brothers beaming from him like warm sunlight as he prattles on.
Warm sunlight. Something I may never see again.
“What’s wrong?” he asks, those dark eyes darkening. “You look sad all of a sudden.”
“I was thinking about the beach,” I say. “About driving down oceanside highways in the summertime and seeing the sunlight sparkle on water.”
He takes my hand. It’s so warm. “If you’re a living vampire, you won’t have to give that up.”
“And if I’m not?” The first hint of bitterness creeps into my voice.
“Then hopefully the vampire perks are so fabulous that you won’t mind the change.”
