“I’m here, little omega.” My voice was quiet, like hers. Intimate. I cupped her face in my hand and ran my fingers into her hair. “Do you need me now? I’m ready whenever you need me.”

“Soon,” she said on a sigh. “I’ve missed you.”

There was something about the way she said it, as though it carried the weight of years instead of hours.

“I’ve missed you, too.” Every moment of my life that she hadn’t been with me, I’d been missing her.

“While I’m still lucid,” she grinned, “tell me something about yourself. Something no one else knows.”

I’m already falling in love with you. The thought was insane, and there was no way I’d say it out loud. I had another answer ready—my strange little hobby.

“I like visiting old cemeteries.”

Her face scrunched up. She looked adorably confused. “Cemeteries? Isn’t that kind of morbid?”

“A little. I like to read the old headstones, imagine the lives of the people. It feels like walking through the pages of a book. Tangible, but not.” I waited a beat, then decided to give her some of myself. “My mother died when I was sixteen, my father when I was twenty. That’s when it started. Now it feels like a habit. If I see an old church, I make a detour. Pull over and wander the cemetery.”

“You miss them.” Kat hung on every word, empathy radiating off of her.

“Sometimes. Other times I miss the idea of a family I never really had.” This wasn’t the time to go into all my dirty laundry. The frequent yelling at my house, the insecurity of my father’s constant job churn. My mother’s final illness. I gave her a small smile. “What about you? Something no one knows about you.”

Her eyebrow went up. “We’ll come back to you later.”

I laughed. “Sure. I’ll tell you everything you want to know about me. Later. Now answer the question.” It was easy to talk to her, to be playful. I was never playful.

“Hmm. Well, my sister knows, but I love spiders.”

“Spiders?”

She nodded very seriously. “I used to have a terrarium in my room growing up. I would catch them around the house and in the garden and keep them for a while, then let them go. I begged my parents for a tarantula, but they wouldn’t let me have one, so I had to be sneaky.”

“Why wouldn’t they let you have a tarantula?” The idea of keeping a spider as a pet seemed a little unusual, but I didn’t see the harm.

“They gave me some excuse about not being old enough. Looking back now, I think they always had an idea of how they wanted me to be. They steered my interests. And I let them.” She shook off a faraway look and gave me a sly grin. “Not anymore. I’ve already been shopping for a new terrarium, and I found a good, reputable pet shop.”

“Good.” I brushed her hair away from her face, enjoying the silky feel as the strands passed through my fingers. “You’re doing what you want.
