He hesitates, then gets to his feet in one easy move, not needing to use his handsHe holds one
out, palm up, to me?Please don't run awayAnd, um, I'd rather you didn't kick me again, eitherI know he can catch me if I try to run?Who are you?? I whisper?My name is Jared HoweI haven't spoken to another human being in more
than two years, so I'm sure I must seem? a little crazy to youPlease, forgive that and tell me
your name, anyway
?Melanie,? I whisper?Melanie,? he repeats?I can't tell you prada black bags how delighted I am to meet you
I grip my bag tightly, keeping my eyes on himHe reaches his hand down toward me slowlyIt isn't until I see my hand curl voluntarily around his that I realize I believe himHe helps me to my feet and doesn't release my hand when I'm up?What now?? I ask guardedly?Well, we can't stay here for longWill you come back with me to the house? I left my bagYou beat me to the fridgeHe seems to realize how brittle I am, how close to breaking?Will you wait for me here, then?? black chanel tote he asks in a gentle voiceLet me get us
some more food
?Us??
?Do you really think I'm going to let you disappear? I'll follow you even if you tell me not to
I don't want to disappear from him?I?? How can I not trust another human completely? We're family?both part of the
brotherhood of extinctionI have so far to go and? Jamie is waiting

to get back to himHe won't know if I've been caught? As if to make my point,
my stomach growls loudlyJared's smile is back, brighter than before?Will it help if I give you a ride??
?A ride?? I echo?I'll make you a dealYou wait here while I gather more food, and I'll take you anywhere you
want to go in my jeepIt's faster than running?even faster thanyou running

?Of courseDo you think I walked out here??

I nod?And eat something, pleaseI don't want your stomach to give us away He grins, and his eyes
crinkle up, fanning lines out of the cornersMy heart gives one hard thump, and I know I will
wait here if it takes him all nightHe is still holding my handHe lets go slowly, his eyes not leaving mineHe takes a step
backward, then pauses?Please don't kick me,? he pleads, leaning forward and grabbing my fairy bag prada
