I grew up in a tiny apartment on the southeast side of Chicago. The roof leaked when it rained, and the drafts came in around the windows in the winter. There were roaches, and mice, and nothing out the window but the smokestacks over the lake, belching smog into the air.

But somehow it was less lonely than this giant, creepy house.

I've never been there. Actually, this is my first time out of Chicago.

[Harry]

It's good for Thomas to go there. There aren't very many, uh, available women here.

If I were a changeling of Summer's Fae I'd hang out in Arlington and El Paso all my life. Okay maybe not El Paso. But you get the point.

[Justine]
I know that. Get a cat.

That it's hot and miserable? Yeah. Chicago can be that way too.

[Harry]

I don't think Thomas is much of a cat person. I wish...I wish this hadn't happened, Harry, so that he could stay around, and not have to deal with this. So that he could feed from me all the time, like he used to.

But it can't.

I know that, Harry. I know how dangerous it is.

It's safer this way, for both of you.

Is it? What happens when the last girl on this island hooks up? And you know it'll happen. Do I have to watch Thomas starve?

You know, I'm a fan of crossing bridges before I burn them down, but this one's gonna have to wait. We'll see what happens.

I'll find someone to sleep with before that happens, Harry.

It isn't as easy as that Justine. You won't fall out of love with him.

I never will, Harry. He's the love of my life.

But what if I...really like someone else. And sleep with them.

I don't know. You've already put yourself at risk for him. He wouldn't want you to again.

We'll see what happens. I love him, Harry.

I wish - this is never going to be easy. Not ever.

I hope he'll find someone else to love him.

I don't think he'll care.

Maybe he's strong enough to hold it off.
