"I managed to ask a question that had been burning inside me. "Do you still love her? Rose? Along with not knowing what it felt like to be in love, I also didn't know how long it took to recover from love.Adrian's smile faded. His gaze turned inward. "Yes. No. It's hard to get over someone like that. She had a huge effect on me, both good and bad. That's hard to move past. I try not to think about her much in terms of love and hate. Mostly I'm trying to get on with my life. With mixed results, unfortunately."

Sookie Stackhouse.'Thank you, Sookie.'Welcome, Eric."

I wasn't in the mood.With a huge effort, Eric reigned himself in. 'When you smell like that, ' he said, 'I just wanna fuck you and bite you and rub myself all over you."

And though I would not have thought it possible to go to sleep holding hands with a vampire, that's exactly what I did."
