"Marry me......Tonight"
The words seemed to echo inside her head. All the while she was struck speechless. But just as her mind seemed to catch up with her ears she reverted back. How many times had he promised things would be better and they never were? How many times had she gotten her hopes up only to be massively disappointed?
She looked away with a scowl. "Marry me...he says... is this a joke to you Bill Compton?" she asked, turning her head back to look at him. There was a pained look in her eyes, the sort of look of someone who was fed up with lies and tricks.
"Why would you say such a thing when you know you'll never go through with it? It's always the same, you get my hopes up only to let something else 'occupy' you when the time comes" she said in frustration.
"You said so yourself! You don't have time for this... time for me for anything other than your precious vampire world!"
