The term ‘grow fangs’ had him thinking. When exactly did the fangs show up, in the grave? Was there a definitive answer on that? No way the government wasn’t clued in on something he knew about. “I dunno. Maybe I’d stop being able to do that when I crossed over.” He was relieved to have another direction for the conversation, so he went with it. “Kind of makes you wonder what other cross-breeds are out there. Were-pire? Mum-bie?”
Brian hit the button so they could cross the intersection and waited for the light could change. He wiped a hand over his mouth in a subconscious attempt to stop himself from whatever he was about to say.
“Ah god. I am going to hate myself for this later, but I need a second opinion. Valerie asked if we could see other people and I didn’t handle it well. I was wondering if I’m out of touch. I haven’t had a girlfriend in five years, so.” Brian felt his neck turning red.
It was embarrassing. Even though he knew Valerie wanted to experiment with a girl, he couldn’t say that to Holly. It was too personal. He had to let her believe it was another guy she wanted, which was like saying he couldn’t get the job done by himself.
