Chapter 4

By the following class period, Mary and Gordon had already decided to date officially. It was agreed that it would be best to keep it predominantly to themselves with a few exceptions such as Gordon's supervisor and Mary's best friend. Gordon had been warned about the potential hazards of dating a student, but he insisted that Mary was far more mature than her peers and that she was more than capable of handling a romantic partnership. Besides, she wouldn't be in his course for much longer as she planned on switching professors by the end of the semester.

The weeks turned into months and they grew closer, stronger. Mary could feel the gap between them dissolving as secrets began to slowly come to the surface. At one point, Gordon considered telling Mary that he was a werewolf. Her love for those creatures overseas might be powerful enough to share with him, but he still had his doubts. It was a shame for him to hide his true form from this woman who was sewing his heart back together so carefully. Her hands knew exactly where to stitch and how to heal the wounds. The feeling of peace was overwhelming.

On one of their lazy date nights in Mary's apartment, she confessed her darkest secret to Gordon: that of her parent's death. The moment had arisen when Gordon asked if she had informed her parents of their relationship, assuming that she had parents who were alive and well. It caused an explosion of tears and a series of incoherently babbled phrases that eventually turned into Gordon holding her and rubbing her back to calm her.

When Mary was able to compose herself, she spoke clearly though the tears threatened to return at any moment.

“It's alright. I knew we would come to this moment eventually. I just didn't know how to approach the subject.” She wiped her face with the back of her hand. “My parents died ten years ago in a terrible hunting accident. They were camping when they heard gunfire nearby in the middle of the night. Some drunken idiot was firing wildly into the woods and ended up hitting them by accident.”

Gordon held Mary tighter, knowing the very pain she felt inside. His own personal experience with death was enough to give him empathy in this matter, something that he felt much of the world lacked when it came to human interaction. As he gathered himself, Mary stroked his cheek that was surprisingly wet. He had started crying.

“I lost my parents a long time ago. To some extent, I understand your pain. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.”

Mary sat up, shocked that his parents were also missing from his life.

“I hate to say this, but it feels like fate to have met you, Gordon.” She brushed her fingers through his brown curls, the short strands coming down in spirals against his ebony skin. In
