“Under all my soft girl exterior, and inner demon, turns out I’m more girl than demon. A stupid girl it would seem.”

“Right. The dance.” I reply with all the whit of a pencil. Now who’s rocking the eye avoidance? That would be me.”

“It would be silly for a demon to dress up and go trick-or-treating. What would I be anyways, a human girl? Ha, it’s funny. I kind of already am playing dress up. I get random treats, only to be taunted that they were but tricks. Turns out, it’s not so funny.”

“She laughs. Mellissa laughs. I choke on a bite of chicken.”

“…penny for your thoughts?” Gabe says as he sits down beside me on the cot, and joins me in watching the girls play. “Just a penny…is that all? With what’s on my mind, you could make a fortune.” I say as I lay my head on his shoulder. “Well I somehow lost my wallet, but we could use kisses as a substitute. What do you think?”
