“There's a particular kind of torture to the waiting, the pining, the slowest burn, like setting fire to wet logs. One that flickers and pops like grease in a pan. Wondering if you'll yearn for him all four years.”

― You've Got a Place Here, Too: An Anthology of Black Love Stories Set at HBCUs
“I know what you are,” I whispered.
Adrian didn’t flinch. “Do you.” His voice was a low rasp.
I reached into my clutch, pulled out a tiny shard of glass I’d kept from before—why, I didn’t even know—and without flinching, sliced my palm open. Blood welled instantly, hot and red. His nostrils flared. His eyes bled crimson.
“You’re insane,” he growled, stepping back.
“No,” I said, stepping forward. “I’m curious.”
He moved in a blur, faster than I could blink, grabbing me by the throat—not hard enough to hurt, just enough to hold me still. His fangs had descended, sharp and glinting.”
