"Oh stop." Her laugh was breathy and she waved a hand to dismiss him. "Owen just plays tough. He probably likes you deep down."
Victoria was pleased when Kama joined her on the swing. She resumed using her toe to sway the swing to and fro as they chatted casually.
It was strange speaking to him as an adult. So many years had gone by now.
What indeed had she been up to.
"Dropping out of graduate school." She admitted with a shrug. "Higher ed wasn't for me." She left put the part about how she couldn't keep up with course work because she would sense the presences of fiendish and demonic presences in the area. And that handling those fiends and demons who became too unruly had interfered with her school work. He didn't need to know all of that. She could still see Darcy's concerned face as clearly as yesterday.
"How did you take it?" She asked suddenly changing topics wildly to the thing that had been weighing on her heart. Kama was perhaps the only person she could speak to about this particular topic. "Him and her. Together?"
She stopped the swing. "I just-- sometimes I look at her and I see -- that day --" she squeezed her eyes shut momentarily against the image of Drusilla -- Julianna -- with demonic red eyes. Even now, she could feel that thing dormant beneath the surface of Julianna's subconscious.
"I'm happy for them, I am." She quickly added. "I just ..." she trailed off hoping he would somehow understand whatever it was she was trying to say.
Bitch, I'm limited edition.
