Felicia Hardy sat beside Michael Morbius, her eyes filled with concern as she noticed the anguish etched into his features. "Michael, I know something's changed," she said softly, her voice a tender whisper in the night.
Michael turned to look at her, the pain in his eyes unmistakable. "Felicia, I'm not the man I used to be," he admitted, his voice cracking under the weight of his confession. "That doesn't matter to me," Felicia replied, reaching out to hold his hand.
Felicia moved closer, her heart aching for the man she loved. "Vampire or human, you're still the man I fell in love with," she reassured him, her words wrapping around him like a warm embrace. Michael felt a tear escape, tracing a path down his cheek.
"I don't deserve you," he murmured, overwhelmed by her unwavering support. "We're in this together, remember?" she replied, pulling him into a hug that spoke of promises made and kept.
Michael pulled back slightly, his eyes meeting hers with a mix of gratitude and awe. "Thank you, Felicia, for loving me despite everything," he said, his voice filled with emotion.
Felicia smiled, brushing away his tears with gentle fingers. "Love isn't about perfection, Michael. It's about accepting each other, flaws and all," she said, her voice firm yet tender.
Hand in hand, they walked through the woods, the stars guiding their steps. The silence between them was comfortable, filled with unspoken words and shared dreams.
Michael squeezed Felicia's hand, feeling the weight of his worries lift ever so slightly. "This is nice," he said, his voice holding a note of peace. "It is," Felicia agreed, leaning her head against his shoulder.
Felicia curled up beside Michael, feeling the warmth of his presence beside her. "What do you want to watch?" she asked, reaching for the remote.
Michael shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. "Anything, as long as I'm with you," he replied, feeling content for the first time in a long while. Together, they watched the screen, the world outside forgotten, at least for a little while.
