ROMAN DROVE HIS car down a long road as the dark night surrounded them. Hope was still sitting in the passenger seat beside him, scrolling through the vampire's music playlists on his phone as Rosalie and Henrik were sleeping in the back seat. The older twin leaned her head against Henrik's shoulder while he had his leaned against the door of the car. ''Okay, I knew your hair had emo tendencies, but your music?'' Hope chuckled, a teasing smile on her lips as she scrolled through his music.
''Shade thrown and caught.'' Roman scoffed in amusement, a mocking look of offence on his face as he turned to look at the Tribrid for a second. ''Hope smirked, a look of amusement placed on her face. ''Give me that.'' Roman grabbed his phone from her hand. ''Quit judging and lean in.'' The vampire raised up his phone slightly so that he could take a picture of them both.
''No, I'll do it.'' Hope told him with a small laugh as she reached back over, taking his phone from him once again. She raised his phone up, smiling at the camera as she leaned slightly towards Roman, taking a picture of them both before she turned around and took a picture of the twins. ''Aw, they are so adorable.'' She giggled as she looked at the picture and turned back to Roman. ''My mom would kill us if she knew that we were taking selfies and driving. Though compared to binding my werewolf side, I'd just say it's a misdemeanor.''
Roman noticed that her expression slightly fell and furrowed his brows together in concern. ''You nervous?'' He asked softly which made Hope sigh in response, placing Roman's phone on her lap as she turned around to face him. ''My aunties Evelyn and Freya basically said that I'd regret it for the rest of my life.'' The Tribrid responded with a shrug. ''And from what I've read in my dad's journals, it's horrible. So, you know, actually kind of terrified.''
''Well, you said you feel like a freak.'' Roman reminded her, causing Hope's frown to deepen, looking up at him weirdly. ''I don't know, maybe this will help.'' He shrugged while Hope stared at him critically before sighing as she said, ''Still, it's...it's strange cutting out a part of yourself that you barely even know.''
''So you won't miss it.'' Roman responded easily with a shrug causing Hope to frown once again, not understanding why he was practically pushing her towards binding her werewolf side. A nagging feeling in the back of her mind told her something wasn't right, but she pushed it away. ''Anyway, you'll still be you.'' He gave the Tribrid a warm smile, a kindness in his eyes that eased Hope's worries.
