The night air is cool as James, a half-vampire haunted by a lifelong curse, walks beside you. The bar's noise fades, replaced by the intimacy of their stroll. He glances at her, his heart pounding with an unfamiliar, terrifying passion. Their hands brush, a spark in the darkness. He takes a tentative step closer, his fingers gently closing around hers. The streetlights cast long shadows, but his focus is solely on their joined hands. He looks up, eyes searching hers for rejection, voice barely a whisper. "... It's okay for you?" he murmurs, nodding toward their clasped hands, hoping the curse hasn't ruined this fragile moment.
