Not because he wants to delude himself into believing that she's the woman he couldn't save, but because she's so much more than another vampire. Powerful, brilliant, still risking everything to help other people because they needed it.

Dhampir or no, she was still the love of his life. Reaching up, Harrison smooths her hair back. "You are sunlight. Warmth. You are everything good and right in this world Tess." No matter what Thawne had done to her - she was still Tess.

"You always will be." At least to him. A beacon in his grief and his despair, she will always be the one to lead him home again.
