When Renate and Caitir experienced Communion, he is famously quoted as saying, "I never believed in that love at first sight bullshit."
The statement isn't completely accurate when describing the experience. Sometimes it takes months, years, or even decades before the connection sparks between two vampires, and most vampires go through their very long lives without experiencing it ever.
Theory is that because vampires are all on the spectrum of mental powers (compulsion, mind-reading, etc), that the connection is made on a mental and physical level. Over a very short span of time it goes so deep between the two that separation of the couple leades to debilitating mental and physical symptoms - an agonizing torture that time only dulls but never takes away.
So you can imagine what Nathan and Margaretta went through when she returned to Italy and Nathan stayed in the states all because she was promised to mate with another vampire lord.
Oh? What's this? Who the bleep is Lord Umber?
Betrothal? Communion?
