“Yeah. I’m okay. I needed to be free, to figure out what the hell I can control about this thing living inside of me. What I can’t.”
“Did you?”
“I’m not a chupacabra right now, if that’s what you’re asking.” He managed to make it a joke and she laughed a little. “I haven’t been going far. I can’t go that far from you.”
“I know,” she said quietly.
“I don’t mind that, you know.” He paused. “I keep thinking, if we’d met before this, maybe … ma...ybe things would’ve been okay. Maybe we would’ve ended up together.”
Oh, God. Her throat tightened and she put a hand to her mouth. Finally, she managed, “I know I would’ve liked you no matter when we met, Chance.”
At this point, she wondered if she should tell him about who she really was before she wasn’t able to hide it any longer.
