37 Howls: Aftermath

That was... well... I'm glad it's over.




Thomas... I have to talk to you. About the mistletoe curse.






Hey, look. No hard feelings, right? This doesn't have to affect our friendship at all. It was just a stupid curse, right?






I, um... just want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, that never happened. I mean, it did, but it was just the curse and not something, well... real. I just don't want us feeling all awkward about it okay?

It's fine. I mean, it's not great, but I know it's not a huge deal.

Thomas, he... he says it doesn't matter that kissing and sex - none of it matters. He says he wouldn't care if I slept with you.

I'm... feeling kind of lost.

It doesn't mean the same thing to him, Mercy. That doesn't mean if you let him know how much it means to you, he wouldn't honor your feelings.

I just... I can try and explain, if you want. Or I can just listen.

I... damn. I hope you're right. If he says he will, I'll believe him and trust him. Just right now it feels really scary.

I think I can understand, sort of. Mostly. It's just so foreign to me.

He was raised around people that saw people as cattle. They were nothing more than food and sex was feeding. Sex was about dominance.

I can understand why he takes it lightly, but I... I can't.

And I think he'll be understanding of that. Or at least, he should be.

I'm afraid maaybe he just thinks I'm stupid and naive.

And maybe I am, but it's who I am.

You're not stupid and naive, Mercy.

And he really likes who you are.

I hope you're right. I think you are. I just feel a little... unbalanced right now.

I hope you can work it out. You know how Thomas gets when he gets emotional though.

Yeah. I do.
