“Except your family will live forever. You can go decades without seeing them and still be able to reconnect as if no time has passed.” Which was kind of depressing considering she wouldn’t be able to do that with her friends, not the non-vampire ones. Or her mom. “My time might stretch out forever, but the time I have with the people I love is really limited. So I personally think that I should make the most of it.” Because really, sixty maybe seventy years wasn’t all that long in the grand scheme of things.
She couldn’t help but smile as he quoted Shakespeare. There was something so authentic about the way he said it. So different from when she watched the movie versions or sat through some of the high school plays or readings in English class. And it tugged at something deep inside of her because he was right. She did want to see the world, to experience everything that it had to offer, but her stubborn pride wasn’t about to let her admit that. At least not out loud and to him.
Caroline stopped walking as they neared some empty benches and sat down on one, contemplating his question. There were so many different events in world history that would have been pretty damn neat to see. “How am I supposed to pick just one?” That was like asking someone to pick a favorite child. It just didn’t work. “Spend a day in an English court. Meet Marilyn Monroe. Go to a Beatles concert. Watch a great artist complete something that will become a masterpiece. Hear Beethoven or Mozart or I dunno someone else. See Eva Peron and that speech that made the musical so famous. And a million more probably.”
She grinned and then focused her attention on him, finally asking something that had been weighing on her mind. “Why are you so intent on me seeing the world? I don’t get that at all. I’m just this little speck amongst everything, who’s been involved in plans to kill you, been a distraction for you, and yet...why do you want to still do that with me?”
