“You do?” she asked, wide-eyed with surprise. “You want to be a human again?”

“Yes.”

“Why? I thought you wanted to be a vampire.”

He considered. “I wanted it at one time. But I’m no longer the man who wanted it.”

“Are you sure?”

Reyna’s heart melted. “Really?”

“There is nothing I want more than to be with you.”

“What about the company?”

He shrugged. “We’ll figure it out. I can run it as a human as much as a vampire. You have been doing just as good of a job.”

“Okay,” Reyna said in shock. “I can’t believe this is happening.”

“Say you want this lifetime with me,” he whispered against her lips.

“I want everything with you.”

Beckham kissed her once more and then opened the door to his sister’s room.

The cure was an opportunity.

A new adventure.

They would weather this as they had done everything else…

Together.
