"I think so too, dear." Aaron patted her hand and smiled to her as she put her head on his shoulder. It was obvious how much she enjoyed the night, here at the mercy of the winds of the sea. The vampire himself thought of his own life as every bit of him recalled past memories; some more welcome than others. "Yes I am. I'm recalling memories," he said and smiled at her, for a second revealing his fangs. A pity they couldn't hide them whenever they wanted to.
Emmaline wanted to leave London and go on her own adventures and travels, that much Aaron knew. Her eyes were screaming it behind that perfect exterior she carried around, obeying every order her Aunt and Uncle gave her. Had it been Aaron, he would have left years ago. Yet it wasn't, it was her. And her own life wasn't his to control. Then a thought crossed the vampire's mind. He could offer her everything she wanted. Every. Single. Thing. But would he have to turn her then?

Emmaline stepped away from him and walked to the edge of the peer, looking out over the water. She bent down to cup the water in her hands and a smile appeared on her face.
That's the smile I've been waiting for. he thought to himself and slowly stepped up towards her. As she spoke, the young man tilted his head and failed to hide a half-wicked smile. It was as every word she spoke blew life into him again, however Aaron tried to deny the fact. He knew what was happening to him. Slowly as it was. He wouldn't accept it completely, but neither could he bother to deny it.
The vampire wrapped a strong hand around her neck and looked her in the eyes, his smile slowly fading and his eyes growing serious. "I will make you an offer, and a promise now." he nodded to see if she understood. "I can see it in your eyes, how much you want to leave London and go on your own travels and adventures. You want to get out. There's a fire in your heart that has undeniably inspired me." Aaron smiled again and winked. "Everything you want, I can give you. I can take you across the sea to behold the pyramids of Egypt, and to the ancient cities of Greece and Persia. To the Louvre in France and to the highest peak in the world. Anywhere you want to go."
His hands let go of her neck again and he leaned back to stand up in his full height. He wondered whether he would eventually have to turn her. She would have to now what he was eventually.
Then he smiled again. "Now... Were you serious about that swim?"
