***

Eve spent most of the afternoon quietly mulling over the things Chris had told her. She could feel that he was miserable, and more than anything she wished she could lean against him and distract him from his injuries. At the same time, now that the shock of the attack and his transformation had passed a little, what rose up instead was hurt.

She’d told him the one secret that had left her terrified of confiding in anyone for years. The Herberts didn’t know. Sidney didn’t know. She’d never even considered telling Jeremy. But Chris—he’d just felt so right. She had wanted to trust him so badly.

And so, for the first time in nearly ten years, she’d taken a chance and told Chris. She’d done it because she couldn’t lie to someone she wanted to love her. After all, what did that love mean if she couldn’t trust him with her secrets? How could she expect to share her life with someone who didn’t know about such an important part of her?

She stirred the rice with a frown. She wished there was any of the fish left to add some flavor; she’d made do with some of the instant ramen spices and a handful of dried herbs that were probably years past their expiration date, but at least there was a healthy supply of salt in the back of the old cupboard.

Chris allowed her to have some space for a few hours, and for that at least she was grateful. It was something, wasn’t it, that he understood that he’d hurt her by keeping his silence?

Jeremy had done these things all the time—of course, he’d lied about smaller things, not magical were-bears, but in the end, what difference did it make? Jeremy had only ever laughed at her when she’d been upset, or rolled his eyes at what he called her over-emotional female lack of rationality. Well, he’d been an asshole. He had also always expected that he could make up for any of the hurt he’d caused by appearing on her doorstep with a cheap flower arrangement from the store. Chris… Chris at least seemed genuinely sorry for lying to her.

She sighed and then frowned at the rice again. She wasn’t the best cook, which surprised people who knew her patience when decorating cupcakes, or all the work that went into experimenting with new recipes to find the perfect pie. But cooking was an entirely different thing, and rarely as much fun as baking. And she wasn’t terrible either… but given how little she had to work with here, she doubted that her dish of rice with rice, garnished with some more rice, would impress even the contestants of a survival show.

A soft giggle escaped her as she imagined just what sort of show that would be: abandoned in a forest with a were-bear! The winning prize would go to whoever avoided getting eaten! Or maybe… She blushed as she turned to look at Chris again, who looked at her with a raised brow.
