Alexander finally turned his head toward Boris again. The moonlight hit the side of his face, making his expression look sharper than usual. He stared at Boris for a long moment before speaking.
"What is it about this Ann girl?" he asked. His voice was calm but curious. "Why won't you get over her? She is just a human girl. Why go through all that stress when there are plenty of our girls who would die to be with you?"
Boris didn't answer at first. He looked off into the trees like he was thinking about something he didn't want to admit. Then he sighed and lowered himself onto the stairs beside Alexander.
"There is something special about her," Boris said quietly. "I swear there is. I can feel it."
Alexander snorted. He didn't even bother hiding the sarcasm. "There is nothing special. You are just bored of vampire girls. They do not give you the excitement you want anymore. So now you are moving on to some human puppet."
