I mean, if she was sacrificing things too, I'd understand. But she must spend $200 a week on beauty visits, she had to drive a Stepford Mobile RX350. ...She had to go off on vacations as she saw fit. Sometimes I was invited, but she always managed to either not invite me or schedule them at times I couldn't get off.And kids? No kids. Ruin her figure, cost too much money, couldn't afford them. Yadda yadda. Sex? On rare occasion.I could get over a lot of stuff, but that was the problem. This wasn't. They don't wanna go through all the trouble, the risks. The excitement is too much for them." Maybe they're just not really excited about it like you are?" I guess, but it still seems kinda lazy. What's not to be excited about? You're exploring a whole new human being, full of quirks and energy and personality and emotion. It's exhilarating." I hope you never wind up getting tired of me." No more than mom gets tired of dad. I think the goal is to have the best of both worlds, to be comfortable. She was afraid of how Violet would react, given what had happened since that night, years ago. She was right to fear. Though Lillian had gained my trust, both as a person and a wolf, she had not done the same with Violet.“No Lillian, I will not be telling her,” I said with a reassuring smile. “That information is not for me to tell her, it is yours. It is your secret and divulging it would directly affect you in ways we are not even sure about, yet.”I saw her visibly relax as I said this, and I. We’ve only started getting to know each other and you sacrificed your time for me,” I let the sincerity of my words fill my voice so that she would know I meant them. Sindee’s smile grew a little wider at my words, “I have to go before I’m late for work, I’ll see you later.” She walked out still smiling. The night was uneventful for a hospital. If you ever spent time in a hospital you know what I mean by that. If not, thank whatever deity, chance, or luck you believe in that you haven’t had.
