The book of love is long and boring
Vervain whistled and sat down; Sam wasn't sure how she'd react and watched her cautiously, less worried that she'd be mad and more that he'd somehow hurt her feelings or ruined whatever it was she had with Zeph. If there was one person he desperately didn't want to hurt it was Vervain, swiftly followed by Zeph: the two that had been the kindest to him in recent memory (and his mum and dad).
Thankfully, she gave him a smile and passed him his mug still, enough of a normal, comforting action for Sam to relax and take it. "Yes, it...it's been a little painful, sometimes, especially as for a while I had to drink from him. Oh, nothing happened, though." He added the tacked on last sentence in case Vervain was aware of what usually followed from an Ascended bite.
"I mean...I don't know, Vervain. No one has ever told me they loved me..not...I mean, not ever said 'I love you'. Most men I'm interested in don't return my feelings. I chase things and get hurt and embarrassed then just do it over and over again..." Sam sighed and pushed a hand through his hair, shaking his head. "Zeph said I need to work on myself before looking for someone, but I don't know how. I suppose...do you have advice?"

No one can lift the damn thing
