âI have date money! I helped Hem move stuff into her apartment.â And nothing broke! Miraculous. And maybe Hemlock gave Kit date money on purpose. âSheâs a woman that works with computers and stuff.â Kit honestly has very little idea of what she does.
Kit also wonders if thatâs a bit of a drag. Does Freddy think nobody will date him, or...?
â...I donât know where to take her.â He runs a hand through his hair. âMaybe Iâll just do a movie and then see... Uh... See? No idea.â
â...You wanna see a picture?â Kit says, before pulling out a picture strip out of a pocket. Itâs wrapped inside paper from an empty popcorn box, so it has no creases. Two pictures in a row of Kit and Sara doing funny faces. Her stealing his hat. Itâs obviously improvised, because sheâs in her work uniform, and Kit is dressed like Kid Eternity and thatâs it. âThey put one of those machines at her job. We tried it!â
While one of them shows the angel wings, the one without hat shows her horns. Itâs evident sheâs not actually a human. Kit doesnât think itâs really an issue --He isnât one anymore, anyway, if you want to get technical.
Freddy leans in to look at the picture. He canât stop the look of brief surprise that flashes across his face, seeing the demon-girl in the photo, but itâs gone as soon as it came. His eyes are next drawn to the look of supreme, genuine happiness on Kitâs face. Heâs relieved to see this, Kit being happy and having friends.
â Thank Hem for me. â He says absently. His focus returns to the photo.
In one of them, Saraâs arms are wrapped around Kitâs shoulders from the back. She is on top of him, trying to bite his hat off of his head but smiling into the camera all the while. Kit supports her on his back. Itâs obvious that they have chemistry from the photos. Freddy is amazed by the sight of her, frankly. He never used to think about what girls Kit would like, but this one exuded feistiness.
â Kit, sheâs beautiful . . . â He tries to find the words. It dawns on him that Kit trusts him with this. He doesnât want to mess it up.
â Does she treat you well? I wish I could meet her. â He isnât sure that he wants to meet her, really. He isnât even sure what kind of dates demon-girls like to go on, and his advice seemed kind of dumb now.
