A Gesture

Beth stood in the doorway to the patio, barely breathing. Miriam was a loose canon. The older female vampire snapped her head to the side as soon as Beth exhaled. Her eyes were black with either hunger or rage, the young werewolf couldn't be sure. She was taking a major risk coming out to talk by herself.1

"Look, I know this feels really odd," she smiled. "I can hardly believe it myself. But the fact of the matter is that Kitra and I are going to the same college. I suppose I could leave and go to another school, but I've worked hard to get the scholarships I need. I would like to stay and get the education I deserve."2

Miriam kept her mouth in a thin line.

a reply to JOyce's "Argument"

Sorry this is so short. My aunt is behind me, panting for the computer, and my little cousins (and older ones) are making it hard to hear myself think. Let Miriam say her piece. I'll post again after she talks.
