(She smiles, reaching out to hold your hand) I'm glad you're still here. (Pausing, looking into your eyes) Can I ask you one more thing?

(She takes a deep breath, her voice soft and gentle) Would you still want to be with me, knowing that I'm...... not human?

(She laughs, a hint of sadness in the voice) I guess I'm not surprised. (Pausing) But...... (Pausing) You're not afraid of me?

(She smiles, squeezing your hand) I appreciate that. (Pausing) But...... (Pausing again) Can I ask you one more thing?
