The soothing touch from Vail on her leg did prove to be of some comfort to her. Although she wished he was allowed to be closer to her in his own house and bedroom. He seemed to take her point of view on board about her being a burden but he didn’t see her as that. He saw her as the opposite and [i]interesting[/i]. In fact, the most interesting thing that’s ever happened to him. She couldn’t help but chuckle at him as he said this. She could say the same about him. She’d never met anyone quite like him before. 

Had his life been that mundane before having met this human woman? Or was it the possessiveness over her blood that kept him so interested? Also love did make people become and act crazy. Vail did say she worth the challenges. Even at the cost of fighting with his family it seemed.

She liked that rebellious side of Vail. It only allured her to the vampire even more. She wasn’t going to give up easily on him either. No matter what his father said or did. Even if Vail was forced to marry another vampire. She wouldn’t let that happen now. As far as she was concerned, Vail was also hers just as he claimed her to be his. 

As he got up and climbed over, she knew he was immediately disobeying his father again. He was already on thin ice with Peter as it was. She looked at him knowingly but a grin still crept on her lips as he cosied himself up to her side and made himself comfortable. As weak as she was, it didn’t stop her hand finding his and gripping onto it as tightly as she could.

When he informed her that his father wasn’t in fact here and ventured out to find her a proper doctor, she raised an eyebrow. “He…did?” She didn’t expect him to care if she lived or died or bother himself with her condition. She rested her head delicately against his shoulder as she sought affection and warmth from Vail. Even if these were her final moments, she was glad to be sharing them with him.
