““Oh, right,” he whispered with a smile. “I’m so glad you found me.” “You’re sure about that? I might have killed you, you know.” “But you didn’t. Because it wasn’t meant to be that way.” “So you believe in fate? That’s unusual for those of our kind.” “I believe things happen the way they’re supposed to happen. You don’t live as long as I have and see what I’ve seen without believing there has to be something else at work. It’s not random. You weren’t randomly sent my way. I felt it immediately.” His eyes changed, narrowing slightly. “Didn’t you?” “Honestly? Yes, I did.” It felt strange to admit, but I couldn’t deny the way I felt. There was something between us from the start—otherwise, why hadn’t I killed him when I had the chance? I could have.””
