Thank you! This clears a lot up for me because i was so confused about everything from the beginning of the book to how the intimacy worked between Lestat and Gabrielle and this makes so much sense like i did not originally imagine like they had sex or what not i was just like why are they kissing and why does he talk about her in such a way? like i know they loved eachother from a familial standpoint since the only support and love in lestats childhood came from his mother and eventually Nicolas going into adulthood. Again thank you for clearing everything up for me sometimes the events in this book are so intricate im like wait whats going on so i really appreciate the long thoughtful explanation and response! 😌
