Adelaide replied earnestly, “It’s better than ugly,” her tone brooking no argument, as if stating a survival law of
the werewolf world.

Doctor Digby told them Cedric needs to sleep and they needn't wait. They said they'd return
tomorrow.”
“Good,” Adelaide nodded, visibly relieved.
“It’s better they leave. | have little to say to them and can’t just leave with guests around.”
Lance asked, “Does havinghere make you uncomfortable?”
“How could it?” she replied in surprise.

“We're comrades-in-arms and soon to be mates. We'll be spending our lives together.”
She smiled again, “Besides, we were schoolmates. There's no awkwardness between us.”
Lance rolled his eyes, now a little uneasy.
The refreshments and coffee were ready. Adelaide poured him a cup. “I know you always say thanks aren't.
