kory looked up "my laugh? I always thought it was awkward."
He chuckled and tilted his head "you don't have to practise your smile, a smile like yours only comes from natural beauty."
He looked down "I'm sorry I scared your friend.. I didn't mean to get angry.. I just.."
Kory let out a sigh "I've been hunted and bullied out of every single town I've been in, and it's made me feel lost for quite some time. So whenever I get the chance to talk to someone, I take it. Usually if somebody is bleeding, it gives me an entrance point so I don't seem so weird."
He smiled "for those seconds I can be just a man, looking for just a chat."
He stopped for a moment and than shrugged "That all goes to waste when they find out of course, I was blessed meeting your grandmother.. At first she would invite me to her doorstep, it took months before she actually invited me in, but she was accepting. I always respected and valued what she said. She's the one who warned me about the hunters and that I had to get out of town, she made me the ring because she knew my desire to walk in the daylight."
He looked at Courtney "You know, you look like her.. she was 31 when I met her.. but.. you look like her. Not that you look 31, I mean, well you know what I mean."
He was going on and on, where was the off switch?
Why was he being so stupid?
He felt weird, not out of place weird, but I can feel my heart beating weird.
