believe what I learned last night. You're going to have the adventure of your life, lover. And it's going to be such a long life. The things you'll see – I can't wait to show them to you.
She became solid, stood before him, naked, smiling.
Tommy held the phone to his chest. "You're pissed, aren't you?"
"I was never going to leave you, Tommy. I love you."
"But what about him?" Tommy pointed to the bronzed vampire.
"I had to make him think that I was going to go with him so I could find out what I needed to know. I've learned a lot, Tommy. I'm going to teach you." She started moving toward him.
"He taught you the mist thing, huh?"
"That, and how a vampire is made."
"No kidding. That could come in handy."
"And soon," she said. She looked back at the old vampire. "The bronzing was a pretty good trick. I didn't exactly know what I was going to do with him after I found out what I needed to know. Maybe later we can figure out a way to let him out and still be safe."
"So, you're not mad? You're really not leaving?"
"No. I thought I would have to leave, but I never wanted to. You and I are going to be together for a very long time."
Tommy smiled. "Great, this guy on the phone says…"
"Hang up, Tommy. And come here."
"But he says… he can change you back."
"Hang up." She took the phone from him and set it down on the counter, then moved into his arms and kissed him.
