Chapter 36

Saying goodbye was hard, harder than I thought it would be. Ginger didn't kill Xavier but she was mad and she let him know it. He didn't retaliate to her wrath or try to defend himself, in fact he looked nothing but guilty and sorry about it. Chris, on the other hand was by far calmer but I knew my leaving affected him because when I hugged him a tear slipped from his eye and he held me tightly. My eyes filled with tears then and before I knew it Chris, Ginger and I were all a mess. Poor Xavier didn't know what to do with himself. Just before we were about to leave Xavier gave Ginger a hug and I saw he whispered something into her ear but I couldn't catch it even with my wolf hearing. She looked at him then for a long moment then nodded slowly. I waved until I couldn't see them any longer from the backseat of one of Xavier's cars and they waved back. Xavier noticed my silence and chose not to say anything. As I turned towards the window I felt him take a hold of my hand.
