"You know she doesn't eat any other kind." It felt good to laugh a little even with the rage inside of her. She wished Ethan would keep smiling, he looked older than he was now, like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. She dropped her gaze. "I know they can." She knew that intimately now.
Ah hell, he was gonna make her cry. She hugged him back tight as tears burned in her eyes and made her nose tingle. "I know, Ethan," she whispered. She pulled back enough to look at him, her hands coming up to touch either side of his face. She rose on her toes and kissed his forehead. "We'll keep doing what we have to, to make them see the truth."
