I heard there were a bunch of Sookie/Eric moments in the book. That they are the root-for couple, sort of thing.
As much as I love Bill/Sookie. Eric/Sookie is growing on me, especially during the last episode. When Eric was asking about relationships with humans and why people like them so much..
"How does Bill Compton feel about your interest in Sookie?"
*Eric eyebrow raise*
