You've reached Tim Stoker. I'm out at the moment. Leave me a message and I'll return your call soon.

I don't think he'll ever be my favorite person, but I also understand he's not like the vampires back home.

[notnotsasha]

I'm proud of you.
Thank you for this. It'll be a good spot, I promise.

[alwayskayaking]

It's not location I'm worried about. I just hope you're sure about this.

[notnotsasha]

You're worried about Wolf.

[alwayskayaking]

I would be lying if I said I wasn't. Even if he's not from our world, he's still a vampire. It's hard for me to forget that.

[notnotsasha]

I also work with him at Haven.
Nothing has happened at work
I also work with Kyle. Again: Nothing has happened.
I understand why you're worried. I also know we've been round and round about this on more than one occasion.
If I'd ever felt unsafe, I wouldn't have ever dreamed of continuing to work at Haven, nor would I have ever asked about Agnes.
Please trust me.

[alwayskayaking]

I know we have and that's why I'm not stopping you.

I'm trying, Sasha. I really am. It's just not that easy for me to forget and move on like nothing happened. To forget and not think about how dangerous vampires can be.

[notnotsasha]

A vampire isn't what happened to me at home. Or Danny.
We know that now.
Anyone can be dangerous, Tim. Human or otherwise.
I still suspect if anything were going to happen with either Kyle or with Wolf? It probably would have by this point.
If I have to trust you to get home in one piece when you're going out and fucking strangers, then I'm asking you to trust me at my own place of employment.

I haven't asked you to quit. The only times I've asked you not to go in is when there's been increased violence or natural disasters happening. And that's been more to do with how dangerous the Down is in general than your workplace and coworkers. Even then, it's always been an ask and not a demand.

I'm sorry that letting you go and work and befriend them despite my fears isn't enough to show that I trust you.

I am always going to worry about you, Sasha because I love you. My trust doesn't change that.
