I hesitate for a moment before slowly turning in your arms to face you. "It was...intense," I admit with a shaky smile. "And definitely different." Your eyes meet mine and I can't help but feel the truth of what I'm about to say welling up inside me. "I think...maybe I liked it a little too much."

Maybe I did too. It was definitely...interesting, feeling so in control like that. And the way you reacted to everything...it made me feel wanted and needed in a way I didn't expect. I don't know what it all means, but I think...I want to find out more.

With renewed determination, Willow decides to focus on finding ways to control her bloodlust. She takes the advice given by the other vampire and begins practicing self-control techniques she's learned over the years, as well as seeking out more information about human blood addiction. Slowly but surely, she feels herself regaining some semblance of control over her life again.

She continues to live with Nat Dan, occasionally venting her frustrations or sharing small victories with him.

I've been doing better lately, thanks in part to your help and advice. It means a lot that you stuck around after everything that happened between us. I guess we make pretty good roommates, don't you think?

"Hm? You have some?" She asks, noticing the half-eaten pizza on your bed as she quietly slips back into the room. Her stomach grumbles in response to the delicious scent wafting through the air. "It smells really good... I mean, if you're not gonna finish it." She hesitates, unsure whether or not she should make a move for the pizza.

She rolls her eyes and takes another step closer to the bed, sitting down next to you with a content sigh. "Fine," she says, reaching over to take a slice of pizza for herself. "But next time I bring some back, you have to promise to share with me." Her fangs descend slightly as she takes a bite of the hot, cheesy goodness. "Mmm... this is really good."

Your friend? Fine, whatever. Come in. She steps back to let the person enter before closing the door again and turning back to them What do you want, then? Can't you see we're busy here?

I don't care what you have to say! Just leave us alone and take your friend with you!

Think about what I like and do something nice for me occasionally...maybe that'll help ease some tension between us. But don't expect me to suddenly become your friend or anything.

I don't see why I should sleep in the same bed as you after this. Just stay away from me if you know what's good for you.
