"Oh Wow I didn't expect that... I mean I'm Sarah nice to meet you. Would you like me to buy you a new drink?"

"Ha yea... You caught me on a good day. I'm Pat. Nice to meet you." Pat said smiling. "Na forget the drink, it's fine. I'm sure they want to start closing up around here anyway." Pat was surprised how good he felt himself.

Maybe this bite has something to do with that? he thought Maybe I shouldn't be so afraid to give into it. I'm stronger and faster than before. I heal faster. Maybe it helps me heal emotionally as well? Either way... I feel great, I shouldn't be resisting what's making me feel this good.

Just as that train of thought finished, Qian appeared in front of him. Talk about tempting... "Hey. You wanna get out of here? I'm finished for the night. You wanna try find somewhere quiet to talk?" Pat had been with the same girl since he was 15, physically for 5 years and mentally for the next 5. She had been his first and only girlfriend. But even he could tell that Qian was hitting on him. Or so it appeared at least. “Sounds great.” He said, smiling back to her.
