We’ve never said it, but vampires are so driven by emotion and base instinct that we often let our actions speak for themselves. Clearly we failed her by not realizing she needed the words. “We’re bonded for life, sweet girl. I don’t even think love is enough to describe this.”
Dude, what actions?? The love and affection from Axl and Xavier is still super sudden and doesn’t feel strongly based. They don’t really even know each other
