Like everyone else before. Like her father. She closed her eyes against the burning sting of tears. Great. She felt like a little girl again, crying when her dad turned his back on her, left her because he just couldn’t handle what she was. Merely another reminder of why she should have stayed home. The world waited with pain for anyone who dared live in it. She had known that. So why had she left her safe haven? She peered at him through the darkness, the muscled hulk of him, a brooding shadow in his corner, half-man, half-animal. She should feel threatened, in danger. Instead, she only felt hurt. Unaccountably hurt that when she finally bared herself, revealed herself for what she was, he turned away. She thought that maybe on some level he would understand. Because he was different, too. Because she let him in her head… in her body. But he didn’t understand. Didn’t forgive. Like everyone else. Ruby shivered, even though she was starting to feel warm again. Healed. Only her heart ached.
