I know the moment that she does. Her eyes brighten, relief flooding through her strange aura.

“Okay,” she says at last. “I promise.”

“Then I swear.” I let my smile fall away. “You don’t have to be afraid of me.”

“I know that now, Gemma.”

Know what? We’re gonna be living together for a while…

“Call me Gem.”
