❝How long after he’d taken me to bed had this supposed love come about? How could I possibly believe him, since he’d lied so convincingly from the very moment I’d met him - playing disinterested because he could read my fascination with the first vampire I’d ever met?
‘I risked my life for you,’ I said, the words coming out in a halting sequence. ‘I gave Eric power over me forever, for your sake, when I took his blood. I killed someone for you. This is not something I take for granted, even if you do…even if that’s everyday existence for you. It’s not, for me. I don’t know if I can ever not hate you.’
I got up, slowly and painfully, and to my relief he didn’t make the mistake of trying to help me. ‘You probably saved my life tonight,’ I said, looking down at him. ‘And I thank you for that. But don’t come into Merlotte’s anymore, don’t hang around in my woods, and don’t do anything else for me. I don’t want to see you again.’❞
