-----
-you were in your final year of college at some university in new orleans when you met
-you were majoring in something intellectual but tbh kind of useless like european history
-she first saw you sitting in a cheap diner, texting your roommate that you were in desperate need of groceries and eating some omelette while also writing a thirteen page paper
-she was impressed but also a little horrified for you
-she walked over, introduced herself, and struck up a conversation
-she carefully worked your major into the conversation and with a smile and a wink, convinced you to let her help write your paper
-you got an A and figured that a friendship with Rebekah might not be the worst thing in the world
-you two started going out for lunch a few times a week, and when you finally graduated with high honors, she helped you find a nice apartment building in the french quarter
-about three months after you first met, she asked you out
-you weren't expecting that at all but said yes with a huge smile
-your relationship grew serious quickly
-she was hesitant to let you meet her brothers (and Freya), but after six months of dating she caved and they were very kind to you
-you were a doting pseudo-aunt to Hope and she quickly grew attached to you
-you moved in with Rebekah after a year of being together
-she always held you tightly at night; she wasn't an outwardly insecure person, but you knew some part of her was deathly afraid of losing you
-you tried to put aside some time to spend alone together every day, no matter how hectic
-it could be as simple as sitting together in silence, enjoying each other's company or as complicated as dinner on a steamboat cruising down the river
-you two adopted a cat and named him Grant
-she proposed, and it was as incredibly elaborate as anyone would have expected
-it culminated in fireworks and you were crying so hard you could barely get your answer out
-but of course, your answer was yes
-you both agreed that your family shouldn't be at the wedding; it was too dangerous, and if you eventually planned to be turned it was better if you just disappeared from their lives
-so you asked Marcel to walk to down the aisle in place of your father and he was ecstatic to do it
-before she turned you, you took her home to meet your parents. they loved her, but you knew that they couldn't remember her. so you hugged them tightly and told them goodbye before holding their hands and compelling them to forget you ever existed
-it was the most difficult thing you ever had to do but you would have done anything for Rebekah
-she felt the same way
-you both wished you could be mothers but you decided being the best aunts possible to Hope was the next best thing
-you never fell out of love with the most amazing woman you ever had met, and she never fell out of love with you either
