Sometimes Lina wondered if she was in love with Kaden or if she was in love with what they had.
Kaden did everything right. He treated her well, he cared for her, he never called her high maintenance, and did everything expected of him.
Sometimes, Lina had a gnawing feeling that something was not right. It was in the way his eyes would flash red like poppies, the sign of a Pure-Blood Vampire. Or, the dark glimmer that flickered on his face when he was displeased by her. Sometimes it was how tightly he held onto her waist.
Lina wondered if she was being picky or paranoid. Maybe both. Maybe neither. But the more Kaden gently touched her and the kinder his whispers were, the faster she fell for him. There was not a day she didn't feel comfortable around him. There wasn't a day where his arms didn't make her feel like they were the safest place to be. And maybe that was enough.
