I'm not gonna let someone else's idea of destiny stop me from loving you, or being with you, or building a future with you... because you are my life.
I've been a vampire for a long time. It's been a blast, but I would give it up in a second to be your husband, your partner, the father of your kids. I can take it for us. Ok? Because even if it doesn't work, even if all goes to hell, even if I'm miserable and alone. The smallest chance of the perfect life with you, is infinitely better than an immortal one without you. And I know this. I love you... and I will love you until I take my last breath on this earth.
You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my 173 years on this earth. The fact that I get to die knowing | was loved, not just by anyone, by you, Lilice, is the epitome of a fulfilled life.
