Immortality was a touchy thing and Vinnie didn't think he wanted that either. He just didn't wanna die so soon and he didn't want the people around him to die soon either. Yes, it was a necessary part of the cycle of life, but why the hell did it have to happen so soon for Simon? Vinnie just didn't understand it.
Vinnie's expression steeled again as he listened to Raquel speak, the hurt and anger still bubbling inside him at the injustice of it all. But then, as soon as she mentioned Grace, his steely facade broke. Everything else Raquel had said flew out of his mind as soon as Cissy and Simon's unborn daughter was mentioned. "She shouldn't have to grow up without a father.. she'll never get a chance to meet him.. and he won't.." Vinnie couldn't even finish his thought. The tears were rolling down his face again as he let his head hang.
