We were at a dead end for now, so we headed back toward Legends. It started to feel awkward between us, and I knew why. I needed to stop being a coward and say something. I wished I felt even half as confident as I did last night in his dream, when I’d given myself to him. Now it all seemed… so far away.

“Jared, we should talk, do you have time today, maybe after you guys are done today?”

He didn’t answer for a long moment, at least he wasn’t playing stupid and asking why, that was a relief. By why the long pause?

He finally nodded and I saw him studying me out of the corner of my eyes. It was obvious he was attracted to me by the look in his eyes, but I already knew that. The problem was that he also looked hesitant and conflicted.

“If there’s time, there’s a lot going on right now and I have a pack to look after,” he finally said.

I froze for a second, and then nodded. I guess he just told me where I sat on his priority list, and although I expected to come second to his pack, it still wasn’t pleasant to hear it out loud, even before we’d discussed anything. Either way, I needed to lighten the mood before I had a breakdown.

I pulled into the parking lot and asked, “So, you guys like pizza right? Is fifteen enough for lunch?”

Jared snickered, “Barely, better be safe and get twenty.”

Two pizzas each? They must break the bank when they go food shopping. I pulled out my phone and ordered fifteen meat lovers and five supreme, and then we went back inside. Jared made a beeline back to the bathrooms, had he wanted to get away from me that badly? I went back to the office and sat on the desk, Cheryl was in the office chair.

“Hey Cheryl, you can go if you want? Thanks for covering.”

She shivered, “How do you handle it? I always feel like they’re one second away from tearing me apart, and I have to resist the urge to kill them first.”

I shrugged, “They don’t bother me like that, magic thing. Apparently they don’t want to kill me either.”

She snorted, “That’s… not really reassuring Miku.”

I laughed, “I suppose not, for you anyway, maybe you should sneak out the back.”

Cheryl nodded, “Good idea, if you need more coverage… don’t call me.”

She smiled to take the sting out of it, and then took off. Just a second later I heard the back door slam shut. I circled the desk and took a seat in the chair, and then leaned back and closed my eyes. Maybe I should pick up a good book, werewolf sitting was going to be boring.

I decided as long as I sat here I’d go over Needleman’s memories again. I didn’t find anything. He had no summer home, no cabin in the woods, no friend with cabin, or a boat. He’d been a quiet loner, no family, no friends.
