It took a couple of seconds before her words registered in my mind. I cocked my head to the side, wondering if she was playing some elaborate joke on me, but she really did seem to be truly considering this. Maybe she's not as stubborn, irrational and immature as I think. I'd been told many times by the people of The Shade that Sofia was a strong and free-spirited young woman. I wanted to see that side of her, but whenever I laid my eyes on her, all I could really see was a stubborn and rebellious teenager lovesick over a vampire, something I could not accept as a hunter.
I wanted to capitalize on her doubts, but for the first time, I gave her the credit she was due and decided to just listen to her. "Why do you think you have these doubts?"
"Well, don't get me wrong… I want nothing more than to marry Derek…"
