The White Wolf
Ghost sat with me in silence until the bus arrived.
I gathered my bag and water bottle while he stayed put, watching me. “Guess I’ll see you around. Thanks again for lunch.” He nodded but didn’t say anything.

A half-hour later, I stepped off the bus, and he was already waiting, leaning against his bike. “Can I walk you home?”
