Claudia sat across Shade, ordered food and then leaned back on her seat just as he did. When he spoke, she nodded and smiled. [color=palevioletred]"Yes, it makes perfect sense. That's what I felt when I saw Alex. And maybe even more than that. I probably won't be able to explain it even if I tried,"[/color] she chuckled. [color=palevioletred]"I do worry about what Alex and I have though... I mean, I imprinted. There is nothing in the world that would make me leave him. There is nothing in the world that would make me stop loving him. But I have never been with a..."[/color] she automatically lowered her voice as not to be overheard by the humans around. [color=palevioletred]"...a vampire before so I hope you can understand why I'm asking. Love is a fleeting thing to some... humans in particular. Alex... I'm sure he has loved before. But what happened to that love? Why is he alone now? Did he leave them behind? Did they leave him?"[/color] she sighed as she tried to explain it. [color=palevioletred]"Will he eventually end up leaving me as well?"[/color] she felt a heaviness on her chest when the words left her lips.

Darric chuckled. [color=lightgreen]"I am hungry myself,"[/color] he nodded and turned the car into the parking lot. He got out, opened the door for her and draped an arm possessively around her waist. [color=lightgreen]"Where are you staying, by the way? After eating, we can go pick up your things and move them over to my place..."[/color] his words were not a suggestion nor a request. He had no doubt that she wanted to move in with him. He wanted it too. He paused, a thoughtful look on his face. [color=Lightgreen]"Although my place is temporary for now... I'd have to look for a proper house for us."[/color] He led her to a booth a few tables away from Claudia and Shade's.

As soon as they sat down, Darric's eyes sought out the vampire and the wolf. When he saw her, he instantly recognized her, wondering why she wasn't with Alex North.
