Love in the Time of Serial Killers

by Alicia Thompson

“I’m not completely feral,”

Yes, she absolutely is.

“I know, you’re reliving your A-Plus glory days,” I said. “But seriously, I’m not that nice to you. I don’t understand why you would be nice to me.”

I didn't understand it either but Sam does care strongly for her.

“I know you’re here,” he said. “Providing moral support because your brother asked you to, even though you hate fireworks. I know you let him call you Pheebs even though it gets under your skin. I know you took in that cat because you hated to think of her not having a home. I know you’re here, back in town in a house that makes you sad, because you didn’t want to leave it for your brother to handle by himself.”

She is complaining that he doesn't even know her that well, but in the ways that matter he does.
