Lonely Midnight

[Ashton watched her and took a step backward, widening his eyes.] What — a vampire? [He took a step back in and reached out to touch the capillaries under her eyes]

[Lacey reached up and placed her hand over his.] I would have died if they hadn't saved me.

I have heard. Is she alright? [Well, he was concerned.] And moreover, are you okay? I heard some things, I was out of town but … what’s up?

Okay. You know my secret so you can trust me with yours. What’s going on, Lacey?

I know that; that's why I wanted to tell you. I know that I can trust you. I'm sure you've heard about Scarlett's accident... I was driving the car.

I was too.

Well you didn't. And you won't any time soon.

I guess it did. Hmm, something is different about you. Can’t put my finger on it.

I've actually been wanting to talk to you about that. I know that I'm not supposed to tell you. I shouldn't tell you. But I don't think I can keep this from you any longer. 

I'm glad too. I was worried there for a moment.

Good news.

That's great to hear.
