I caught Amity staring at me throughout the night, mostly when she thought I wasn’t looking. It was hard to read what her expression was telling me but I could guess what she was thinking.

She’s wondering if we can make this work between us.

I knew this because I was thinking the same thing myself. I hadn’t stopped wondering how we were going to make it happen.

We nibbled on sandwiches that I made and I popped open a bottle of wine, the two of us settling into the living room with my playlist on softly in the background. The combination of the alcohol, food, and company was making us both lightheaded and chatty. I felt like I could ask her anything and I did.

“Can you always control your shifting?”

She seemed amused by the question.

“Are you asking if I’m like the Incredible Hulk?” she teased and I blushed.

“Well, no… yes… I don’t know,” I mumbled, feeling foolish. She reached across the suede sofa and squeezed my hand reassuringly.

“I’m just busting your chops,” she told me. “I understand what you’re asking. Yes, shifters can always control our morphs but sometimes it’s hard. We’re not unlike humans in that way.”

I cocked my head to the side, waiting for her to elaborate.

“Surely you have hotheaded friends, ones who lose their tempers and do stupid stuff like punch walls or someone else,” she offered. I nodded.

“Not so much anymore but I knew a lot of guys like that in college.”

I didn’t add that my father was one of those men too. It was one of the reasons I’d always struggled to keep my composure.

“That’s because they’re reacting with their primitive brain, lashing out in anger. Shifting is essentially that, the ability to morph into an animal for our most primal desires.”

I sank back against the couch cushions and shook my head.

“It’s just remarkable,” I sighed, still trying to reconcile how it had all come to pass. “I have a hard time understanding it all.”

“Most humans do,” Amity replied quietly. “And when humans don’t understand something, they react with hate.”

“Hey, that’s not fair!” I protested. “I think it’s incredible and I’m trying to understand.”

She smiled patiently.

“I didn’t mean you,” she corrected. “But how many of your human friends know about us?”

I shrugged.

“A lot,” I conceded. “If only the rumor of you.”

Amity nodded.

“And how many of them are terrified of us?”

I didn’t want to answer the question but I saw her point.

Dan is sure I’m going to get murdered. Brigit seemed more concerned about the shifters at the restaurant than Anticlaw when they were the bigger threat.

“Is the solution to keep us segregated, though, or is that only fueling the fire?” I found myself asking aloud. The question was more for me than it was Amity but she answered all the same.

“Without segregation, we have groups like Anticlaw springing up and playing vigilante.”

“You have rogue shifters too, don’t you? I mean, surely you don’t think that all humans are bad because of Anticlaw.”

Amity was quiet for a long moment, her silence making me apprehensive.
