I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

Historically, friendship would not seem reason enough for… this.

I’ve nothing to offer him save trouble, and in my experience no one does things like this without expecting tangible payback.

Another boy once said something similar. Then he pickpocketed me.

The vampires simply didn’t bother with such niceties.

Leo and I had something, but even that was rooted in mutual benefits.

But this – this is something else.

It sounds different (granted, that could be his ridiculous accent), and it… feels different.

Because somehow, against all odds, I think he’s right.

He is my best mate.
