My Vampire Plus-One (My Vampires Book 2)

She smiled at me, so warm and genuine it felt like the sun emerging after a century of slumber, and Hades help me, I was lost.

“The truth is, I quite like making you happy.” He shook his head. “I’m frightened to think too much about what that means, because I honestly can’t remember the last time I wanted to do anything for another person, simply for its own sake.

“The problem with young people is not that they’re lazy. It’s that they think they have unlimited time. So they postpone the fun parts of life thinking they can get to those later. Only at the end do they realize how badly they squandered…well. Everything.”

If her eyes had been open, she’d have seen it written all over my face just how desperately I was falling for her.

“You are perfect and brilliant, just as you are. Every day you let me be near you will be perfect, too. No matter how many days there are, in the end.”

“We can figure out what our forever looks like together.”
