Disclaimers: LKH owns the characters and world. The story is mine.
When I picked Peter up from the airport, he looked like any teenage boy travelling on his own for the first time: cocky, carefree, but with a hint of uncertainty. His chestnut hair, starting to curl at his collar, gleamed in the sunlight and an unwieldy duffel bag slumped at his feet. When he saw me pull up, his expression brightened considerably. 'Hey, Anita,' he smiled, offering his hand once he'd fastened his seatbelt.
I shook it, hoping I didn't seem standoffish: I hadn't fed the ardeur yet and I didn't want to molest a juvenile. 'So . . . Ted tells me you're quite the shot.'
'Edward,' he corrected. When I looked over at him, he shrugged. 'There's no more secrets. I know who he is and what he does. It doesn't matter. As long as he treats Mom and Becca and me well, that's what counts, right?' I nodded and returned my attention to the road. 'But yeah, I'm pretty good. Looking forward to more practice, though.'
'You'll like it at the cabin,' I assured him, leaving out the fact that it was technically on Pack land. If Edward found out I took his stepson hunting in Furryville, I'd never hear the end of it; he had enough problems with me fucking the monsters, let alone cohabiting with them.
'As long as there's stuff to shoot,' Peter replied, tilting his seat back, 'I'm happy anywhere.'
