Eddie had been in love with Jay for a long time. Eddie, however, had two strikes against him for ever having a relationship with Jay, a straight mortal. Relationships were hard for a gay vamp. The night he exposed his sexual preferences, Jay turned him down cold. If he couldn't accept a homosexual relationship, he'd never accept loving a vampire. Still he showed some curiosity on the gay thing, giving Eddie a faint hope until Jay was killed. Desperate not to lose him, Eddie attempts his first turning, unsupervised and without permission from his master. Fouling it up, leaving Jay suspended between dead and immortal, the only way to complete the turn and save the man he loves is to call his master. Knowing he will suffer Clint's anger, he receives the surprise of his immortal life. Love can come in threes.
