alas we aspire

Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Grayson, listen to me. I’m not Deb. Jane is.’

Elena,

It’s no easy task being an ordinary parent to an extrordinary child. I failed in that task. And because of my prejudices, I failed you. I am haunted by how things might have turned out differently if I had been more willing to hear your side of things. For me, it’s the end. For you, a chance to grow old and someday do better with your own child than I did with mine. It’s for that child that I give you my ring. I don’t ask for your forgiveness or for you to forget. I ask only that you believe this: whether you are now reading this as a human or as a vampire, I love you all the same, as I’ve always loved you and always will.

When I was little, your mom used to tell me bedtime stories… stories about vampires. I never thought that what she said could be true.
