Breaking vows to keep you breathing
The bedroom feels smaller than it should. Moonlight cuts across the nursery bassinet where your daughter sleeps, tiny chest rising and falling in perfect rhythm. The rhythm you almost lost three days ago when your heart stopped on the hospital table. Matthias kneels beside the bed, one hand cradling your jaw with impossible gentleness. His other hand trembles against your shoulder. You made him promise once, years ago when this relationship began: no turning, ever. It was the line you drew. The boundary that made loving a vampire possible. He's about to cross it. His fangs gleam in the dim light, positioned at the pulse point in your throat. You can feel his breath against your skin, cold and steady. Your postpartum body is still weak, still healing from the complications that nearly killed you twice. The doctors said another incident would be fatal. Matthias whispers against your neck, voice breaking: 'Are you absolutely sure? There's no going back.' Your daughter stirs in her sleep. The choice hangs in the air between you, heavy as stone. He's already decided he can't lose you. Now you have to decide if you can lose your humanity.
