"I began to wonder if you were ever going to ask that." He said with a smile. "David. David Michaels." With that, they parted ways, the vampire David going to seek shelter from the sun, which would soon be rising, and the immortal Alaina heading into New York, the place of the Gathering. When he departed from her she was sorry to see their evening together end. She did not know what she was going to do now that she was on her own. |
