The first thing she did was put her address into the maps app on her phone. The second thing she did was set the phone on his thigh so he could follow the directions while he drove. The third thing was a soft sigh.<br/><br/>She wasn’t quite sure why she was helping him. It made no sense. “You ever do something or believe something just because it’s what someone tells you is the truth? That’s kinda how I feel right now. For so long I’ve heard the stories. Your family is bad. Your family is the enemy. Your family will stop at nothing to wipe mine off the face of the planet.”<br/><br/>Amaris shifted on the seat so she was facing him, offering a tired smile. Digging those graves hadn’t exactly been light yard work. “But then I saw you with those pups and that other wolf. And even with Finn. It just made me realize you’re not like the stories say you should be.”<br/><br/>Miles passed in silence as she tried to find a way to explain her jumbled up thoughts. Her mouth opened a few times as if she was about to speak before closing again. More miles flew by. “I mean, you probably have stories about the big bad wolves killing your family, right?”<br/><br/>She reached for his arm, resting her hand on it lightly, more to pull his attention from the road momentarily, looking for reassurance that his family saw her pack as something terrible too, that her side wasn’t the ‘bad guys’.<br/><br/>Right about then they pulled up to her apartment building and she offered a weak smile. “C’mon.. you need a shower. You’re filthy.”
