You want to know what happened? YOU happened Rush. That's what happened.

I smiled and ran my hand through his dark curls. “So, Death, what do we do now?

You're it for me, baby. Just you. You're not going to be your mother. You're special and unique and we're going to get you help. But I will be right by your side the entire time. I'll never leave you. I swear it.

I get to keep you,” he said, staring at me with an intensity that made me shiver. “Keep me?” I asked, reaching up to kiss his chin and trail kisses down his perfect neck. “Not here. I can’t take much more, Pagan. I’m only so strong,” he said in a husky voice as he pulled me against his chest. “You’re mine now. While you walk the Earth you belong to me. Nothing can hurt you.” I heard a touch of humor in his voice. “It’s pretty impossible to hurt what Death protects.

I need you. Right now. Let me love you right here, please.

You're my present and my future Sadie, I will use whatever power I have to make you happy.

Too late. I’ve already seen the blush. Stop trying to hide it from me. I think it’s adorable.
