There's nothing, nothing in this world that could ever change that'" Rose: "And it was memories like that that made it hard to even comprehend this quest to kill him, even if he is a Strigoi.

I needed to remember that that man would'nt want to stay a monster.”

“You're imagining things. Clearly, my stunning beauty has clouded your mind. -Rose Hathaway”
