(8) Chapter 23: Expectations
Meeting Michelleâs somber gaze was all it took to know that I wouldnât be capable of being a hardass with her, like I initially thought. Partially, because she didnât strike me as being someone who was going to be disobedient to my simple requests, but also because she really did feel like a mom, even if she looked so young, making it difficult for me to treat her like I initially did Avery.
Due to how I was raised, I couldnât help but feel as if I should respect this woman, and âknow my placeâ around her, just like how Iâd feel around my own mom.
She looked normal now, disheveled blonde hair and blue eyes, instead of whatever color sheâd been when she woke up, still dressed in the hospital gown without a bra. Although, she actually looked healthier than when I first saw her back at the bank.
Not that sheâd seemed unhealthy before â far from it â but there was definitely something different now. Was her pale smooth skin more supple? Or maybe it was just because Iâd only recently noticed her freckles running across her nose and upper cheeks, which kind of gave her an even more youthful appearance.
When she didnât say anything, I decided to speak up. âYou wanted to see me?â I said quietly.
She nodded hesitantly, glancing at Serenity. âCould we speak alone a moment, sweetie?â she wondered.
Serenity nodded in the corner of my eye. âSure, Iâll close the curtain and wait outside the door.â
I gave my lifelong friend another quick side hug, and then moved over to the chair more toward the foot of Michelleâs bed, sitting down and taking a deep breath as I focused on her knees. I waited until I heard the door close before speaking.
âHow are you feeling?â I whispered, uncertain of how this situation was going to turn out and feeling a little anxious about it.
Michelle took a deep breath and turned her head away, seeming to really think about her response. âYou know, my daughter has talked about you almost every day for the past two years.â
I looked up at her in surprise, wondering why she was bringing that up.
She met my gaze then, her expression still sad. âAs horrible as this day has been, I wouldnât be surprised if she ends up viewing it as the best day of her life.â
I frowned, feeling uncertain about her point. âWhy do you think that?â I prompted after a few seconds, even though I knew Avery had already said as much previously, prior to me giving her my blood.
She gave me a weak smile. âBecause sheâs finally a part of your world now, isnât she? Although, I doubt she had any idea what being a part of your world might look like. I certainly never would have imagined.â
I nodded slowly, realizing she must fully grasp the situation sheâd found herself in. She must truly remember what I told her while unconscious, and understood that I was supernatural, and that Iâd similarly made both her and her daughter supernatural.
