Meeting new people-Jamie and others
Nick nodded with understanding. “Listen, man, I feel for you. But you’re not alone anymore. You’ve got a new home and a new pack that’s going to look out for you. Stick with me, and you’ll be just fine. Got it?”
He turned and motioned that they continue walking towards the library. It was just up ahead and he could see that the cold was beginning to get to Victoria. Nick shifted the strap of his backpack higher onto his shoulder, tossing his empty coffee cup as they passed a garbage can. “So what kinds of things do you like to do in your spare time? Maybe there are some clubs that you can join so you can meet some other people that way, too.”
Jamie nodded at Nick. He put his bag on his other shoulder as they walked, his breath showing in the cold air. “Well I play guitar, sing, dance and act” he replied.
"Oh!" Victoria exclaimed. "I would love to hear you sing sometime." She smiled at him, a quiet sadness registering just behind her eyes at the thought of how much she also enjoyed to sing, but never did in public. There was too great a risk that her siren abilities would slip and affect those around her as she sung.
As they walked, she kicked a small pebble that skipped across the snowy sidewalk. "What kind of dance do you enjoy? I have been doing ballet since I was a child."
