... talk to her. Like really talk to her. She hasn't said anything since we got here, and it's killing me." "I got this, babe," he smiles wickedly. "Consider it done." We walk back out to the living room. Rin is staring at us from the sofa then stands as I approach. "I'm gonna leave you here with Reid for a little. He's going to take some measurements, take you out, pamper you and make you clothes. I want you to have fun." She nods at me. I embrace her, though she doesn't embrace me back, and kiss her forehead before I leave Reid to do his work. I hadn't given much thought to what I'd spend my time doing while I waited. I hadn't fed in a while and Rin wouldn't appreciate it if I took blood from her, so I guess I could do that... ------------ Hunting had been more difficult than I had anticipated. I first ventured to the jungle and found a few crocodiles and snakes, more birds than anything. I then swam in the ocean and had very little luck there since I found loads of smaller fish that hadn't even begun to quench my thirst. So I swam out further and wrestled a few sharks. At the end, my thirst was less than it had been, but not fully satiated on animal blood. And I managed to stay within a hundred miles of the hotel just so making it back wouldn't take too long. The whole time I hunted my thoughts remained on Rin: would she be talking to me when I returned? Or would she be as distant as ever? What were her and Reid talking about? Was she enjoying herself? I drove myself mad ...
... asking all these questions, because I wouldn't know until I returned and that alone had my nerves on end. We'd been here for days and I knew we'd need to relocate to somewhere remote and private. I don't think Rin would object much since we were already staying in a hotel, but this isn't the life I wanted for her: to be moving around a lot just to avoid my fucked up family. It's my fault we're in this mess. If I hadn't allowed myself to enjoy myself in her arms Lennox wouldn't have taken her. My attraction for Rin was toxic and poisonous, and what would become of it? My kind could breed with mortals, and in doing so the chances of birthing a mortal baby was very slim. Marriage was even harder between vampire and human; vampires lived forever unless killed and we never aged, and a mortal life is finite. Not that marriage and having children is something I want right now, but if anything these are things every woman thinks about and Rin deserves a normal, happy human life. So as I make my way back to the hotel my mind and heart are in chaos. When the hotel came into view the stress grew. As I slip the key card to the suit in the scanner and turn the handle, I am greeted by fits of laughter and loud music. Reid is behind the island counter in the kitchen laughing as he pours a glass of wine. Rin is hunched over the couch dying of amusement as well. The sound of her laughter chases away some of the stress and worry I felt, calming me. "I'm back," I call out, making my presence known. ...
