I feel like I'm about to unleash my life story before Eric reaches for my arm and squeezes it. I look into his eyes, they're very large and pretty and brown, and I listen to him when he says that it gets easier. Kind of. But he doesn't try to make me think that it will ever be completely right, and that's good, because if he did that I would know that he's a liar.
Which would be unfortunate because so far everything about him feels very honest and open, which is what I like to find in a friend. I know that sometimes I talk to Deidre, but let's be honest, if she wasn't queen of the neighborhood then I probably wouldn't.
"Thank you," I tell him with a little smile.
And then he mentions werewolves.
"What?" I cry out, pulling back with a nervous look. Part of me feels very stupid for feeling scared, because werewolves and vampires and... well, sometimes I think ghosts might be real, but the other stuff is all fake! It's like the yeti or Bigfoot, stories that people make up to get attention. At least, that's what I would say back in Orlando. But this city is so crazy that I can't let myself think that anything is impossible.
"Werewolves and vampires? Why are we all sitting here while there are werewolves and vampires out there? Aren't they dangerous? Shouldn't we be calling the police?"
