Avelina gazed at his disappearing back. What did he mean by 'the issue has been resolved?'
The spoon in her hand slipped, falling into her food, and she clutched her heart, resisting herself from breaking down.
She could tell him, right? She could tell him her reasons, but how would she explain them? She doesn't even know what it was that she felt, but it was a feeling that made her want to be closer to him than ever. It was a feeling she needed to get rid of, otherwise, she might never be able to stay away from him when the time comes for her to leave.
Could it be love? Avelina blinked rapidly. No, it cannot possibly be. This could not be love—it cannot be! She shook her head, not willing to believe that. There was no possibility that she could have fallen in love with a vampire. No, of course not!
It was just desire—yes, that is what it was.
