I sighed again. "I just... wish I could help you more. It's been some time, since I truly cared for someone, the way I do about you... And I can't accept the fact that there isn't much I can do to help you right now. If something were to happen to you now, I don't think I could live with that..." I looked at the Shield charm on the necklace you gave me, wondering what it would do when I really needed it. Suddenly, it hit me... what if I became a vampire, too? But that thought scared me. I wasn't sure I could handle that... at least not now. And that kind of decision definitely wasn't something you made spur of the moment. "Anyways... need any help with dinner?"
