Eric nodded, feigning understanding of the pod-people thing and then put a finger to her mouth to quiet her for a moment. He listened with his vampire senses deep into the bowels of the establishment. The bar was busy, as usual, and no other vampire ears would have the ability to pick up the conversation at this point in time.
Removing the finger from her mouth, he answered her question. "I do believe I have been experiencing very human feelings because of you Miss Stackhouse," he said. He kept the business-like demeanor to make this conversation a bit easier on himself. "I think I may be falling in lo... lov..." here he coughed like something was stuck in his throat. He gave a funny look at how difficult he was finding to actually say the damn words.
Taking a deep breath he tried again, "I love you Sookie Stackhouse."
