Chapter 7

As they walked out of the house and towards the woods, Desmond took Abby’s hand in his – intertwining their fingers - and she was again instantly struck by how normal this all seemed. The feel of her hand in his was such a wonderful, simple pleasure that she found it slightly unsettling. Her heart clenched in her chest as realization hit her full force. In just a few short days, her life had changed completely.

She was falling absolutely, completely in love with a Vampire – a Vampire for God’s sake, she thought with a start - and realized that there was not a damn thing she could do about it. This man was what dreams were made of, and there was no way to stop the onslaught of feelings rushing at her. She was falling in love with everything about him. His kindness, his compassion – the way he talked, the way he made her feel when he touched her. She was tumbling heart first into an abyss that there was no avoiding - or no returning from. She was completely lost.

She knew without a doubt that her heart would be shredded by this man beyond repair once he felt his duty to her was over - but that would be something she would have to deal with when the time came. These days spent with Desmond had been the happiest she had ever experienced, and she wanted to cherish them. And it wasn’t just the physical aspect – although that was definitely spectacular -she thought with a shiver -no, it was that she thoroughly enjoyed being with him. He was warm and considerate and funny and just…everything she never thought a man could be.

When he had opened himself up to her and told her of his mother’s betrayal, she realized with a painful twist of her heart that there was no going back. She was way beyond reigning in her feelings. She had felt a deep need to comfort and protect him, as if he were hers -and she swallowed back the lump that was forming in her throat with difficulty. She desperately needed to remember that he wasn’t hers – and never would be. She would grow old and wither away and he would live forever. He would make sure she was safe – then go on with his life as she would need to go on with hers - although, that seemed an unlikely possibility. How could she go on without him?

She glanced up at him and was once again taken by the absolute beauty of this man. His strong chiseled jaw and straight nose would put any Greek God to shame - not to mention those damn eyes of his. He was perfection personified in every single aspect of his being – and Abby couldn’t help but curse that life just wasn’t fair.

“You are quiet, little one,” he said softly - breaking into her thoughts.

“I was just thinking how nice it is to be out in the fresh air.
