[ Oh, boy. How much does he want to admit? Some of it, he hasn't even told Mako because it's kind of embarrassing. And he doesn't have the paleblood influence on him, just on the people he's around.

I mean, I always thought he was very attractive, but I didn't fall in love with him until... well. I don't know exactly when, but definitely by when I showed up in Deerington! I knew I was in love with him, then, and boy, that was kind of awkward. [ He laughs thinly. "Awkward" doesn't quite cover it. ] It kind of snuck up on me. Like, one day I was with him and thought "I love him" and that was it.
