Bury Me in Blood

One tiny little lie wouldn't hurt anyone, would it? Desi:It's 1993, and I have 365 days before I turn into a vampire.One year before I have to face everything I've been avoiding for so long.A career, a marriage, a family, all picked for me.Screw that.Scout is perfect in every way but one. She's not a vampire. Time's ticking, and every day I know that one day I won't have her anymore. Would it be so bad to ask her to give up everything, for an eternity with me?Scout:Desi is a goof. He's cute, snarky, and... mine.We come from two different worlds. One where I struggle for my next meal, and one where he has never even looked at the price of something. Why would he want someone like me?There's something he's hiding. He promises forever, but I don't know if I'll see him tomorrow most days. I'm not sure exactly what he's keeping a secret, but deep down, I wonder, is it me?
