"Margie, you silly girl!" He tenderly pulled me into his embrace.
How did this shift to me? Clearly, he had something to say, yet he deliberately kept me in suspense, hesitating to speak. Frowning, I pushed him away, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want... I want..."
He hesitated for a long time, only managing to utter a single word, "Sigh!"
"Your Majesty, please say what you want to say. Otherwise, I fear I might not be killed by the vampires here, but rather suffocated by your hesitation. You know, curiosity killed the cat. What could be so profound that even the great Vampire King dares not speak of it?"
He couldn't help but laugh, though it was a bitter laugh, "Huh... yes!"
"Then, what is it?" I widened my eyes, staring at him, but his stunning face gave nothing away.
He took a deep breath, as if gathering all his strength to speak.
