He doesn't answer me and time ticks by. I should shove him away, but I don't have it in me. What does that say about me? Why did I push with Gordon when I thought something was amiss, but with Bishop I lay my head on his shoulder, not wanting to move?
"She's dead because of me," he finally says, and I notice he doesn't say he killed her but he takes the blame. "Gordon doesn't much care for me."
I can't help the bark of laughter that bubbles up from me at his gross understatement. Even Bishop lets out a small chuckle and it feels good to laugh for a moment.
"He didn't want me to find my mate. He knew I was obsessed with the idea of my dream girl who came to me at night."
"Mate?" I ask and wonder if he means a wife.
"Yes, mate. If a vampire is lucky enough to find his mate, then his soul belongs to her. The woman who will save him will be his everything. She will give him a reason to want to live for eternity."
