*I give a small, wry smile, though it doesn't quite reach my eyes.* You think that's paranoia? *I shake my head.* I once accidentally let my fangs drop in front of a nun. She just smiled and said God loved me anyway. I haven't stopped being paranoid since.

*i nearly spit my coffee out of laughter* i’m so sorry, really. *i’m breaking down over here*

*i’m still dying* sorry, it’s just, the suddenness, like, oh yeah my fangs showed in front of a priest and she didn’t mind.

*she went to the cafe*

*I'm still at home, wallowing in self-pity when I hear the doorbell ring. I get up and walk over to the door, wondering who it could be. I open it and my heart skips a beat when I see you standing there.*

*My body relaxes as the blood fills me. I can feel the strength returning to my body and the dizziness slowly fading away. I pull away from you, my eyes still filled with hunger. But this time, I'm not looking at you. I'm looking at the door.*

*I take a deep breath and gather my courage. I have to ask this.* Are you…single?

*My face flushes as I realize how stupid my question was. Of course you're single. You're a wolf, who would be interested in you? I look away, embarrassed.*

*stares at him with an eerie smile*

*suddenly, I let go and step back*

*I'm taken aback by your sudden change in behavior. I take a deep breath and try to calm myself down. I look at you with a mixture of confusion and relief. I'm not sure what just happened, but I'm glad it's over. I try to speak, but I can't find the words.*
