Chapter Seven
Curt
âYou feeling all right, Curt? You look like youâve suffered a death in the family.â
I look up to see Garrett, the sergeant of the company, staring at me with a mixture of concern and amusement. I smile at him, and his concern disappears, leaving only amusement. âIâm feeling great,â I tell him. âJust got caught in thought a moment.â
âAbout the girl?â he asks.
I lift an eyebrow in surprise, and he laughs. âCome on, Curt. Itâs as plain as the ass above your legs.â
I chuckle at his odd choice of metaphor and say, âWell, yes. Itâs about the girl. How could you tell?â
âDid you not catch my comment about as plain as your ass?â
âI did,â I reply. âI just chose to ignore it. I donât want to have to think about what it might mean that you chose that response.â
âIt means youâre clearly head over heels for that little street musician youâve been seeing the past few weeks,â he says. âWhatâs her name? Delilah? Darlene?â
âDenise,â I reply, âAnd yes, Iâm falling in love with her.â
His eyes widen, but he doesnât question my assertion. One trait that all shifters share is a certain comfort in our own skin. Since much of our life is governed by instinct, we have to fight harder to rule ourselves by logic and order, and in order to do that successfully, we need to be confident in our choices.
So he doesnât respond by telling me that Iâm foolish to think Iâm in love. He responds by telling me that Iâm foolish to be in love so soon.
âDonât think of me as a dick for not congratulating you, Curt,â he says, âbut are you sure thatâs a good idea?â
âWell, itâs not like I can help myself,â I reply. âI didnât exactly decide to fall in love with her. It just happened.â As soon as I say that, I remember my run three weeks ago when I decided exactly thatâto fall in love with her and make her mineâand I redden slightly but donât correct myself. âAnd no, I donât think itâs a good idea. Thatâs why I look moody.â
He nods, and I can see him weighing his response. Finally, he decided to just be open with me about his thoughts. âI donât know you very well yet, Curt, since youâve only been with us a few months, but what little I do know about you suggests to me that you appreciate structure and order in your life. You like knowing whatâs going to happen next and not wondering about what the next day holds for you.â
âYou know me so well,â I reply.
âThe thing isâand Iâm guessing you realize thisâDenise seems a lot like the kind of girl who thinks of plans as torture and a goal as a prison cell. Iâm not judging. Sheâs happy living like a leaf drifting on the breeze, stopping to rest only on a whim and living from day to day. Hell, there are moments when I wish I could live a life like that.
