Chapter 54 – Regret
Jasper
I sat on the bed, my wound was already mostly healed. The pain, magnified through my vampirism, had subsided. Of course nothing in my life ever hurt as much as being changed. Alice lay beside me, quiet filled the air around us, but I didn't dare break the silence.
Regret filled my heart as I held her a little closer. She shifted, burrowing deeper into my side. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
"No," I sighed. "Please don't feel bad, I put myself in this position. Trying to protect Milly nearly killed me, you knew it could. You tried to warn me."
Her emotions shifted, from sadness to relief. "I'm just glad you're alive," she sighed.
"Me too," I admitted, a small laugh escaping my throat.
Silence again, this time it was better, happiness filled the room. I loved it when the emotions around me were positive. I could feel them like no one else, they affected me like no one else. It was a small part of why I loved Alice so deeply, her default emotion was content love.
We couldn't sleep, a side effect of vampirism, but laying there, silent in each other's arms I could almost imagine that we were.
A rare glimpse of morning sunlight glittered through the window and shimmered on Alice's skin. I raised her hand to my lips and kissed it soundly.
"I love you," I whispered.
She sat up to face me, a small smile pulling at her lips. "I love you too."
