Hoooly crap. He's in his boxers. Hot. Crap! Stay calm, stay calm. Don't shift. Don't fox out.
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I wanted to pick up the rest of my things. I haven't heard from you so I figured that you didn't really want to see me, but I wanted my things so I had to chance it."
And you're right by the woods and I need to shift and I want a place nearby that isn't my place because I'm starting to worry that my neighbors might call the cops because there's a wild animal running loose in the neighborhood.
He rushed at me and picked me up in a spinning hug. "I've missed you. I didn't want to contact you until I knew for sure it was safe. Come. We need to talk."
"I don't have time, Duval. I can't stay and talk. I have somewhere to be." And I have to figure out really quick where that somewhere is because if I don't find a place to be for my next shift I'm going to end up tearing my house up and I'd rather not explain that if someone comes over unexpected.
"Day after tomorrow then."
"Duval, I don't know. I have to make it past tomorrow first." My face paled when I realized what I'd just said.
"If this has anything to do with Devlin trust me, he won't ever hurt you. He knows what will happen."
"This has nothing to do with Devlin! It's about me."
"Ange, what's wrong? I don't want to fight, I don't want to argue. I want to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago. When can we talk? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"If you want to help me, give me a shelter for tomorrow night. Somewhere I can go a little crazy and don't have to worry about making a mess or anything if I freak out."
"Come here. It'll make telling you what I have to that much easier anyway."
"I don't know."
"You asked for safety, I'm offering it. You don't have to worry about making a mess or going crazy or any of that. There's nothing you have to worry about."
Except what you're going to think when you find out what I am. You might chase me out of your life and if that happens then I don't know if I really want to live after that.
"Fine."
