Mated To Valentine
"Your past? That’s already done. That’s behind you. And now, you have Valentine. Which means, sweetheart, you’ve got nothing to worry about."
I let out a breath, shaking my head. "You make it sound like Valentine is the solution for my problems."
"Because he is," he insists. "I mean, sure, we’ve got dangerous enemies and ancient politics trying to screw us over, but at least we don’t have to deal with drunk drivers or—what did you call it?—being Turtle Girl, all because Valentine made you a vampire."
He pronounces it as 'vam-pee-rey'.
I can’t help but laugh at that. "You’re silly."
