"I spent most of it talking to Mikey about school," she told him, walking slowly so he'd fall into step beside her. "I been thinking a lot about things, Shane," she said, and the words tumbled fast because she wanted to say this all before he stopped her. "Vaughn attacking me, it made us rush into this thing, you and me. We weren't ready for it, and you gotta figure out how to control your killings without using my body for it. I hurt, Shane, and I'm so tired," she said, risking a glance over at him. "I wanna move back to my place, and I want you to fix you, and I want to figure out what I want, and I want to learn who you are inside."
She stopped walking, looked up at him. "I love you. I don't want you thinking I don't. But I need to sort things, and I need to figure out who I am, 'cause it ain't who I was before."
