“He stared blindly ahead, his tongue moistening his lip, his voice low, almost natural. ‘I went to Paris after you. . . .’

“ ‘What was it you wanted to tell me?’ I asked. ‘What was it you wanted to talk about?’

“I could well remember his mad insistence in the Théâtre des Vampires. I hadn't thought of it in years. No, I had never thought of it. And I was aware that I spoke of it now with great reluctance.

“But he only smiled at me, an insipid, near apologetic smile. And shook his head. I watched his eyes fill with a soft, bleary despair.

“I felt a profound, undeniable relief” (330, Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice).

​

This was towards the end of the book where Lestat went to Paris and was trying to tell Louis something and then Louis visited Lestat back in that decrepit house. I would guess he was going to tell him that he loves him or something about what he knows of vampires. It seems Louis understands a bit of what Lestat was trying to get at, it's an unspoken understanding. Then at the end Louis is relieved when Lestat does not tell him.

I don't know.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
