”Betty, it's a one-in-a-million chance that that happens.” Lysander tried again to explain, feeling surprisingly cold as she walked away.

She shook her head sinking to the floor

Evan, being closer at the moment, knelt down beside her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. ”It’s alright, Betty. It's alright.”

She shook her head

Evan let out a sigh and hugged her close.

”I… I'll be back in a minute.” Lysander murmured half-heartedly, slowly getting to his feet and walking out the front door.

She looked at Lysander questionably

Evan loosened his grip so she could pull away if she wanted to.

Lysander paused at the door, placing his hand against the glass, feeling a little hurt but mostly upset with himself.

Betty went out, "Ly?"

Lysander looked back at her, his eyes a little red as if he was holding back tears.

She stood in front of him "Ly Talk to me" she said

”I didn't mean to… It just happens sometimes.” he murmured. ”It doesn't mean anything.”

She held out her hand "Take a walk with me?"

He nodded a little, gently placing his cold hand in hers.

She began walking "Tell me what's wrong baby"

He let out a deep breath to calm down. ”I just… I really don't have a problem with you taking blood from me. The twitch… it's almost like muscle memory from before I was turned. It happens to every vampire at some point.”

"That doesn't explain why your eyes are red" she said

”They are?” he asked a little surprised. ”I’m sorry, I didn't know.” he said, rubbing them lightly as he tried to turn the color back to green.

"were you crying? I'm sorry I didn't drink from you but I thought I hurt you and then you walked off with a hurt expression" she said sighing sadly she looked at the ground and started to let go of his hand

”No… I wasn't.” he said, shaking his head slightly. ”You didn't hurt me. I’m used to being bitten.” he chuckled a little. ”I left because I just needed a moment to…” he trailed off.

"I may not have hurt you physically but you're hurt emotionally" she said finally letting go of his hand

”It just hurt a little that you didn't trust me when I told you that the twitch didn't mean anything.” he answered, not letting go of her hand.

"Lysander if I hurt you I wouldn't be able to live with myself" she said with a sigh

”I know, love.” he said softly. ”But you didn't hurt me… It stung a little when you pulled away like that, but I may have overreacted a little.”

"I'm really sorry" she said

He stopped walking and gently pulled her into a hug. “So am I.”

"for what?" She asked

”For making you upset.” he answered.

"I wasn't upset I was scared" she said

”I’m sorry.” he said again.

She wrapped her arms around him laying her head on her chest
