Mae laughed softly, breaking the tension. “Also, I made pancakes. You better eat them before I eat them all.”
I smiled, setting the mug down. “Okay, okay. Pancakes first, terrifying life choices second.”
But deep down, I couldn’t ignore the pull. The thought of becoming more than human, stronger, faster… capable. Capable of revenge. Capable of protection.
And maybe, just maybe… It was time to consider what I’d been too afraid to think about for years.
