The Scorpion's Mate (Iriduan Test Subjects #1)

by Susan Trombley

No one ever talks about how naked you can feel even when you’re wearing more clothes than a nun.

I’d had the word “anti-social” thrown at me from a counselor or two, but it wasn’t that I didn’t like people. I just wasn’t sure how to deal with them. I never knew the right thing to say, or the proper way to act. Being with Ava by herself was relaxing, because she didn’t care if I said or did the “wrong” thing. But Mike and John were another story. I felt drained from being on my best behavior all day.
