1 " You are so good at this interrogating stuff, I’d love to take notes,” I say as I pull out my notepad and write at the top: A How-To Guide to Being Evil. "

2 " We’re going to the retirement home, then?” “Oh, I would love to see you trying to do some community service with fragile old humans. They’d be like ‘But I would just like a glass of water.’ And you’d be like ‘Don’t be so weak, human. I’m older than you! Get your own water! "
3 " I beam at him. “Your personality is like a star shining brightly, blinding me—” “Fuck off. Go harass someone else.” “Nah, you love me, and you know it. "
4 " I grab it and look up at him while one hundred percent pretending it’s a microphone. “Can you give me an alternate pronunciation of the word?” “I’m going to kick your ass so hard,” he growls as he pulls me into a headlock. How this went from an innocent yet very sexy blow job to MMA, I’ll never know. "
5 " Take these torture devices off me! I beg of you!” he cries. And like the good guy I am, I grab his shirt and pull it up, exposing his toned stomach. “Not my shirt!” “Oh! I thought you meant your clothes,” I say. “Sorry, ladies, false alarm. "

He instantly responded to your command. "
8 " But you fit in anywhere?” “A hundred percent. The only time I’ve ever felt out of place was at a bar during ladies-only night. And that was just because I wasn’t the manliest one there. "
9 " He’s giving the place a look that clearly states he thinks I’ve lost my mind. “Vampires don’t… roller skate,” he says as he gets out of his side of the vehicle even though he’s pretending he isn’t interested. “Vampires don’t do… weird things. We can already move fast enough as it is.” “You’ve never gone roller skating?” I’m sure my eyes are extremely wide at this point. This is the best news I’ve heard all day. Marcus waves at himself as he gets his brooding look out from wherever he keeps it for times like these. “Does this body look like it roller skates?” “I really can’t wait to find out,” I say. "
