Chapter ８

Jessica's voice can be heard clearly. I lean over David's massive wolf bulk to look at him. Jessica is standing in the open doorway with a dish of food in her hands. As I take a glance, she flashes me a kind smile. David circling about and slapping me with his tail before settling down and putting his head on his front paws that have been crossed in front of him.

Jessica walks into the room with a grin on her face. "He hasn't paid attention." She mumbles as she moves the food tray to the left of the table. "Here's something to eat for dinner. I'm aware that you didn't eat much."

"Thanks." As she walks out of the room, she gives us a wink and waves to David and me.

My cheeks are flushed with embarrassment as I clutch the fork. When I cut into the pizza, a cloud of steam rises into the air above me. As I eat, David, the wolf, remains still. The fact that I can see his chest rise and fall confirms that he is still alive.
