Derek + Nesryn
It had been way too long since Nesryn had seen a lot of her friends. She could only blame herself - the approach of the holiday meant she wasn’t home in Portland and wasn’t with her family. This would be the first of many holidays spent outside the social circle and if she was being honest with herself, she missed them. So, instead of being her usual self and being social, she avoided her friends so they wouldn’t ask about her family.
Basically, she had been in a rut.
But this Thanksgiving get together felt like the opportunity she needed to get herself back into the groove of her small town life. And fortunately she spotted a friend who looked like he could use a bit of a pick me up, too.
“Hey Derek!” The wolf chirped, sliding over to where her tall friend was perched. She had a beer in one hand, and a bright smile for the vampire. “You look like you could use a hug.”
