It's never easy to tear myself away from Julian. I meant what I said. He's my light. In comparison, the world is so very dark that I often fear what the future will hold… for us… for our children…

If we have any children.

Maybe we shouldn’t even try to have kids. If we’re too afraid to show the world that we found love in each other, how can we expect the world to be ready to embrace our children?

I need to talk to Julian about what our future will hold, especially after we’re married. The idea of having to attend schooling for another year after makes me want to rip out my hair, but I also don’t know where we should live, what our married life will look like. What my profession will be, what his will be… These are serious questions, and honestly, we have to face the terrible truth that sometimes, love isn’t always enough. It’s a frightening thought and not one I relish, but we can’t be naïve or foolish. We need to have our eyes wide open if we’re going to move forward with the wedding and living our lives together.

We can find a way to make things work. Of that I'm certain, but will that mean we have to remain in exile? Will we have to live our lives in the shadows, hiding away from the rest of the world? What about the need for us to spend time with our friends? And Julian with his family… I don't want to deprive him of his parents and his siblings. Just because I don't care to have a relationship with my parents doesn't mean he should be isolated from his. I want to meet his family. They're the main reason I hope that the future might be a better place than today. For his parents to have raised him, for him to be able to see me for who I am beyond the thirst and the fangs, they have to be special. Maybe they'll accept me too.

Then again, I fell in love with a werewolf despite my parents.

The moon is starting to descend, though, and I really should be going.

Julian laughs. “What are you thinking about?”

“Why are you laughing?”

“Because.” He taps between my eyes. “Right here always crinkles when you’re thinking hard.”

“Is that right?” I ask, amused.

“Yes. It’s adorable.” He tilts his head to the side, staring at me with his piercing eyes. “What’s on your mind?”

I hesitate. I can ask about the future. I can see if Julian has thought about it, and maybe we can start to plan for whatever comes next.

But what if we make our plans and they don't come true? What if we can't find a way to live together, to be a married couple? What if hatred of those on the outside mar and destroy our love? Which is stronger—love or hatred? As much as I want to believe that love will always win the day, I've seen how terrible and destructive hatred can be, chaotic and devastating.
