"You're going to save me, right? You're going to stop smoking it when I say stop."

"Marion, I-I..." Drake couldn't agree, of course. What if he loses control and can't stop?

They would be frightened every time they saw the appearance of the immortals, not even challenging as Marion had just done.

What if Drake was tempted and sucked Marion's blood out? Marion wasn't going to turn out to be like her but instead die, and Drake didn't want that to happen.
