I rubbed my face.
"It's back to normal, " Daniel said.
"What?" I peered at him through my fingers.
"Your face. It looks normal, so you can stop rubbing. It wasn't bad before anyway. Just a little…different."
He reached to pull one hand from my face. "I know you're worried about what happened to Annie and whether it will happen to you. You're probably worried about the whole 'changing into a cat' part, too. But it's going to be okay. We'll figure this out and we'll find help and it'll be okay. I promise."
I nodded. "I'm sorry," he said.
"About what?"
"Yesterday. I made that bone-headed comment about werewolves, and you decided not to tell me yet."
"No, that's not--"
"Liar. It was a dumb thing to say."
"Um, no, I'm pretty sure that changing into an animal does qualify as a crazy idea."
"Sure, but in a crazy cool way. I'm jealous. What do I get? Some kind of sonic boom shout? As superpowers go, very lame.
