Chapter 38: He'll Find Josh

Emboldened by Melinda’s trust, Caleb stepped away from her. “Do you want to watch?”

She looked at him puzzled for a minute. “Oh. That. I guess.”

“How about I change, then you can touch me. Know that it’s me,” he said.

Her accepting him as he was would be key to her staying with him. He waited. He could go into the woods, out of her sight, but he wanted this all to be normal. If she thought it was normal, he would have a chance to win her back.

She bit her lip. “Go ahead.”

He led her off the porch and into the yard. He started the transformation as he watched her. Her face showed a little fear, but she didn’t ever remove her gaze from him. That was a good sign.

Her eyes were a little wide and he can only imagine what this must look like to her. He would never hurt her or Josh. Hopefully she knew that.
