The next two weeks were routine. I met more people, Kai and I kissed more, and Caroline still hated me with every fiber of her being. I tried to talk to her a few times but she brushed me off. Kai comforted me and said that she needed more time. We were getting close, seeing how we spent almost every minute together. He would randomly tell me something about his life or what he liked. Kai would try and ask me but I wouldn't be able to answer or couldn't. He taught me basic things like how to shower, brush my teeth or cook. He'd always eye me when I would figure something out.
       He was special. Every morning he'd wake up, kiss me on the forehead and brush my hair out of my face. I once asked him why he did that and he said that he wanted to see my full face and didn't want a single part of it. Every time we watched movies he would wrap his arm around me and hold my hand. We'd always end up falling asleep because we could never limit how many we watch. Kai made me happy in ways I thought I never could be.

"Kai, I dislike this," I expressed again how bad I felt.

"Give her time honey, I know it's hard," he walked over to kiss me on the forehead.

"Now come on, I don't want to be late," Kai was taking me around to see his pack and introduce me to even MORE people. I didn't have the nerves to say that Allock made me memorize a map of the entire pack but it's still nice to go visit everywhere. On our way out we passed a painting of him and his parents. Caroline yet wasn't born. My heart saddened when I remember what he told me. His parents died in a car crash on the way to visit another pack. It was when he was 7, and Caroline had just been born. Her mom had a hard time leaving her so shortly after birth so she left her that necklace to feel more comfortable. As if I already wasn't guilt enough. I already made up my mind to go and receive the necklace. Kai had a meeting tonight and I were to slip away, unnoticed. He grabbed my hand and we started walking.

"I know I've been dragging you everywhere lately, so how about tomorrow, we do what ever you want!" Kai mentioned to me. I beamed and nodded.

"I'd love that!" I gleamed.

"So tell me about yourself," he asked.

"What do you mean?" I questioned, confused and slightly scared.

"What's your favorite color?" He gave an example.

"White, yours?" I decided to get to know him as well. 

"Black. Favorite food?"

"What was that thing you gave me this morning? They were shaped like little O's," I asked. See, where I came from, there was no need to eat food so the first thing I ate, was the little things shaped like O's in a white liquid.

"Cheerios?" He stared down at me with a concerned expression!

"Oh yes! Out of all the things you fed me! I really liked those! They taste good with the white liquid you gave me-" I was cut off by laughter from Kai and a curt reply.

"Milk?"

"Yes, yes, but they taste so good alone too! And they come in different flavors! Honey, cinnamon.." I trailed off thinking of cheerios.

"So you're telling me out of all the stuff you have eaten in your whole life- cheerios is your favorite? Not a meal or something fulfilling?" Kai stopped and looked down at me with a smirk.

"Well, I've only recently just started eating! They were the first things I've ever ate!" I put my hands on my hips and poured.

"Wait what?" Kai got serious, "first thing you've ever eaten? Ever?"

I suddenly got really insecure and fumbled with my hands. I had no clue on what to say.

"Oh.. uh," I stared at him as he began to frown. Oh dipping dots. I had no clue how to get out of this.
