Vampire's Pet
She shook her head, "No. Just the things that you said at the pet store made you really off-putting."
I took a moment to respond, trying to think back on what I had said. To be honest I really didn't remember those details of that day.
"Like what?"
She responded with her voice deepened as if it were supposed to be mine, "I like a pet that knows how to scream."
I just stared at her, my eyes round.
I had forgotten that I said that.
Geez no wonder she took so long to warm up to me.
"Well yea, the Pet Master wouldn't get off my ass about why I wanted you out of all the other choices, So I just told him what he wanted to hear," I explained.
