He still needed to go out every day... he still didn’t like it, most of the time, but every day stepping out of that door became a bit easier. Every day he was less tempted to eat everyone he met on his way. There were even days he managed to be in touch with humans without thinking about eating them for a moment. He didn’t even need to drink the whole day for it. And there were days like these, when he didn’t want to see anyone. When he just got into his car and drove in the direction of the lake, true to his promise to Erik to get out, but not actively searching for company. Somehow company always found him...
Today was no different. When he drove up to the lake, he saw a familiar figure hiking along the road and he stopped his care besides her. “Amber?”, he wondered. “What are you doing out here? It’s getting cold...”
