Smiling wide, Casey internally waited for that question and had the answer ready after Sylvie asked. Her eyes spreading a soft yellow between them, making a living eclipse Casey spoke. “You told me at the ke we’d move as I felt fortable. I know it's only been a few hours for my ge and our partnership, but we’ve known each other for a year. You’ve e to my rescue more times than I t. I’ve worked out all the inner demons and tucked away all the regret.” Casey squeezed her legs and kissed Sylvie multiple times across her cheeks to her lips. “I didn’t admit it at the time, but ging me I was ready then.” Softly running her fihrough Sylvie’s blue and grey hair, Casey cooed lovingly. “I am ready, I should have admitted it to myself sooner. Friends to partners and lovers, it’s like in the movies or something.”

  Without a warning, Sylvie picked up Casey from her p like a cherished doll a her ba the sofa. Sylvie stood up and bowed lightly to her partner. “Don’t go anywhere, I will be right back.” She darted out of the room.

  Casey sat ba the sofa giggling to herself. She had to admit that she enjoyed being handled with such determination and grace by Sylvie, and it shot little excited pulses through her body. Unaware that her neire body could make goosebumps, Casey shivered a moment ahe fun feeling wash over her just before witnessing the little bumps poke up from all over her arms and legs. “What are you doing to me?” Casey whispered to herself and giggled again.

  -Are you ready for the part of your new life, Rivers?-

  Allowing the feelings for Sylvie to wash through her senses, Casey blurted, “More than ready. It’s a long time ing.”

  Speaking from the other side of the house, Sylvie inquired. “What are you talking about sunshine?”

  “I was thinking about how I was more than ready and how much I actually love you, Sylvie.” Casey smoothly spoke. “I was refleg out loud Mistress Moon.”

  Appearing from the kit with a set of small cube speakers, Sylvie cooed after hearing Casey’s test pet name. “Oh, I like that. I don’t think it fits this evening though.” P up the twin speakers, Sylvie turned on musi her phone. Swaggering up to Casey, Sylvie curtsied again. “May I have this dance, Glow-bunny?”

  Snickering lightly at the impromptu names, Casey took Sylvie’s hand and stood up. “It would be my honor, Taini, my love.” Casey smiled as she answered, then followed Sylvie to the middle of the living room.

  Sylvie carefully pced her hand at the base of Casey’s spine and pulled the two close. “It’s about to begin. I assume you know the song ‘You light up my life’?” Sylvie lovingly asked.

  Shaking her head, Casey lifted one of her long eyebrows. “Not familiar.”

  Hearing the piano at the beginning of the song, Sylvie started to move slowly in a circle, holding Casey close and then began to sing in perfect pitch with the artist Debbie Boone.

  “So many dreams I kept deep inside meAlone in the dark but now you've e alongAnd you light up my lifeYou give me hope to carry onYou light up my days and fill my nights with song…”

  Melting into Sylvie’s form, Casey began to cry and shed little droplets of blood all over the pristine fl. “I..No..um..” She sniffled and while still being led by Sylvie in the smooth and romantice, mao push herself to softly kiss her partner on the lips. “I..I have never had anyone serenade me.” Casey then pushed herself into Sylvie’s chest and swayed as her partner led her around the dance floor. internally, she khat she’d never felt this close to another person in her short life. While she couldn’t pce the faces or names of her former lovers due to the memory fog of her ge, it was the emotion attached to what was happening now and the reckless as she once did for this exact attention.

  -She’s loved you for over a year, Rivers. From ooubsp; Fro..touch.-

  Casey held tightly to Sylvie, “You are amazing, do you know that Taini?”

  Carefully spinning the couple in a sloassion-filled dance, listening to another song, ‘Hello’’ by Lionel Richie. Sylvie kissed the top of Casey’s strawberry-colored hair. “How am I amazing, Casey? I only followed a vision. Some would frown at the predetermination. ht about it.”

  Upon hearing the test love song, Casey perked up and saw the full bright moons in Sylvie’s eyes. “You know this song is about perfect for the moment.” she wiped the blood trail from her cheeks and cupped Sylvie’s cheeks. “It is about a person that has watched from a distand dreamed of being with that person. The first lines are almost like you, preitive.” Casey paused and then spoke each line in the song softly for her mistress.

  “…I've been aloh youInside my mindAnd in my dreams I've kissed your lipsA thousand timesI sometimes see youPass outside my doorHello!Is it me you're looking for?I see it in your eyesI see it in your smileYou're all I've ever wantedAnd my arms are open wide'Cause you know just what to sayAnd you know just what to doAnd I want to tell you so muchI love you…”

  Nodding in agreement with Casey, Sylvie leaned down and kissed both of her partners' hands. “I see how it be a vision. Let me just say it then, I love you.”

  Casey felt the emotion through their vampirid first and khat the three little words were absolute truth. “Taini, my heart. You have every part of me at your whim. I came to this on my own and I now know that I love you, and have since we met a year ago. I just didn’t want to admit it to myself.” Warmth shot throughout Casey’s cold dead form and once more she was reassured in the fort of their lesbian love. “You gave me a serenade, I should return the favor.” She winked and followed Sylvie’s lead as she’d been doing the whole time, spinning and dipping in the heavenly dance. “Most of the song ing up I will let Air Supply sing. I am sure you’ve heard this, it's called ‘Lost in Love’ and there are only about three lihat apply heavily to us.” Casey leaned backward as they spun lightly and grabbed Sylvie’s phone. “If you wouldn’t mind my darling.” Waiting patiently until Sylvie unlocked the phone, Casey then tapped the s a few times and pulled up the song. Casey waited a few lines and then mimicked the few lines she was thinking about.

  “…Reach for a star and I'll show you a pnI figured it outWhat I needed was someoo show me…”

  Pnting a well-timed kiss on Sylvie’s purple-painted lips, Casey smiled. “Someoo show me, darling. That was you. Vivieroduced me to vampire life, but it was you who cared for me from the beginning. You defended me without a thought, and I didn’t see it.” Casey felt herself get spun away and then pulled bato Sylvie’s arms. Purring lightly, Casey regained her thoughts. “Patiently and waited and watched me from a distance, aually you showed me. I love you, Sylvie Miakoda.”

  -Your new unlife is perfect, Rivers. I deserve this.-
