Johnny nodded. "She's been teaching me about the things that go bump in the night." This revelation was still a shock to him. It was so very weird. "Things I usually deal with are human. I saved her from a pair that were trying to rob an all night grocery. After that, she told me about the things in this town and how to end them."
He tried to imagine how this might have happened. He could see keeping in contact with Jo and even going on hunts with her, to help. If their friendship was solid, he could imagine that he might have started getting nervous about not changing. Then, perhaps she had made the decision to have children. It would have been a good time for him to split. To vanish. She wouldn't need him anymore, and he would need to be the hell away from anybody who knew him.
Is that what had happened?
And then he had run into Mary somewhere?
"I'm guessing that I didn't bring that up in the future." He filled his glass again. The actions of drinking made him feel better even though he wasn't getting anything from it but slightly more warm. "Are we not close enough then to do the parent meeting whatnot?"
