“Maybe.He cooks good bacon,” I joke.
“How are things between you two?”she asks carefully.
“Weird.”
“Because you slept together and went back to ignoring him?”
I glare at her.“You know what the mating heat was like!How was I supposed to resist him?”
“Why are you still resisting him?”
“He doesn’t regret it, Mabel.He told me he would bite me again, whether I wanted him to or not.”
“He said that?”she asks in surprise.
“Not exactly those words.He just said he’d do it again.”
“Okay, and did you consider he said that because he saved your life?”
I shove a bite of eggs into my mouth so I don’t have to answer.
Mabel sighs as she leans against the pillows.“Did you look at your medical records from the discharge paperwork?”
“No, I was busy unpacking here.”
“Well, you should.It might shed some light on why he did what he did.It might change your mind.”
“Maybe.”
She sighs.“Okay.What did you want to do today?”
“I think I might look for a new car.We’ll have to file a report with the insurance company.”
“Miles grabbed the police report for us.It’s downstairs somewhere.”
“Okay, that helps.”
I unpacked last night before I fell asleep and put all my clothes away in the closet and dresser.All my money is stacked on the dresser next to my backpack.It’s not a ton, but it's enough for a decent used car.
“Any leads on a job in town?”I ask Mabel.
“No, I haven’t looked yet.I’ve been worrying about you and wrapping my head around all this.”
“Maybe we should look today.Start putting out some applications.”
“Sounds good.I’ll go grab Miles’s laptop.”
She slides off the bed and rushes out the door.I finish eating while she grabs the computer.
I set my empty plate aside and grab my phone as she climbs back on the bed.
“What towns should we look in?We might not find anything here,” I point out.
“Not Red Fog,” Mabel comments.
“It’s scary what they’re doing,” I whisper.
“I just hope they put an end to it before anything else happens.”
