The VAMPIRE'S embrace
Her boyfriend had just broken up with her, and she was feeling lost and alone.
Eli listened to her talk and felt a deep connection with her. He found himself wanting to comfort her and make her smile.
Over the next few weeks, Eli and Emily became good friends. They talked and laughed together, and Eli found himself falling more and more in love with her. But there was a problem: Emily already had a new boyfriend, a guy named Jake.
Eli tried to push his feelings aside, but he couldn't help feeling jealous every time he saw Emily and Jake together. He knew he couldn't interfere with their relationship, but he couldn't deny the way he felt.
