But she was not even comfortable enough in her own skin to accept the fact that she was a freak. How could she tell her parents let alone Chris.
"I am sorry. Just not now. It's not a topic of discussion I want to publicize." She grabbed for his hand and squeezed it, "It has nothing to do with you Chris. You are a great friend. And I will tell you one day, but that day is not today."
Christopher nodded.
"Whenever you're ready."
He noticed that earlier she was saying a silent thanks. This triggered a thought in Christopher's mind, and he remembered something he'd heard many students say before that he'd never quite understood it before.
"Selina, why do people say 'Thank Merlin' or 'Oh my Merlin?' He isn't God." That always confused the lion to extremes.
