Vampire Second Quote by Harrison Geillor

“First, Edwin was a vampire. Second, he loved me--or at least thought my blood smelled delicious, which, for a vampire, was probably the next best thing. And third, I would get him to turn me into a vampire too, no matter how much scheming, manipulation, or treachery it required.” quote by Harrison Geillor
