" You are of embedment to me as I am to you. Despite, being alternate species, my heart is indulged in felicity due to your presence, although it may cause great indignation to you. Believe me, you are not my prey but, in fact, raison 'd' trere.
These words, this sincere confession becomes my cordial vexation that I must divulge to you. "
Swallowing the lump in my throat; I hold back my tears as my eyes begin to sting. I begin to translate this confession into my lamen terms before I stop breathing:
Even though we're completely different species, I make... him happy?
I'm not his meal but his reason for existence?
And more importantly... he's embedded to me; just the way I am to him...
He feels the same way about me?
