She knew she had to keep control of herself, and she wasn't about to tell Cian that she had a crush on the shop keeper, so the only avenue open to her seemed to be to gather her courage and go through with telling someone. Someone else.
"I'm not...I think I know what you're thinking. Mama warned me, Never shift in front of others. That I could end up in a government lab or somewhere worse. I've always been really careful. I've had to be."
She was looking down at her shoes by the time she finished talking, as if she'd run out of steam to form words, and she darted a look upwards before returning to study the toes of her sneakers when she said, "How did you learn to control it?"
