As Miranda’s message came through, Cassandra shifted only enough to get her phone out, opening the message even as she settled back against Hunter, reading the message with some concern, frowning slightly. While Miranda’s quick thinking would give her some time, she couldn’t help but think that maybe… it would just make things worse in the long run. She couldn’t hide away forever, and sooner or later, her dad would find out about Hunter. And… she didn’t want to hurt him by hiding something that was, well, important. Something she couldn’t change, that simply was… like… being a werewolf. And she knew that the longer she waited, the longer it would hurt. The harder it would be to do. 

Had her father thought of that, the longer he had kept what he was a secret? She didn’t want secrets anymore… she wanted to be open, but she knew her father would have a bad reaction. It wasn’t like she’d exactly had any… experiences before. Neither of them were prepared for what would happen, and she didn’t know what her father’s response would be. Not good, in any case. A little uneasy, she shot back a thanks to Miranda, putting her phone away. What was she going to do? She didn’t want to make a scene in the hospital room, not when Syleste and Sebastian were hurt. She didn’t want to cause a fuss… and yet, she suspected that that was what would happen. 

She sighed, and for a moment seemed to forget where she was. Finally, she reached up and brushed her hair behind her hair, looking to Hunter, trying to figure out what to say. [color=lightcoral]”Miri… Miri’s trying to make sure my father doesn’t come out and see us”[/color] she said softly, her tone troubled and more than a little uncertain. She looked back to the room, almost wishing that her father would step out the room. She didn’t want to have secrets… not anymore. 

[color=lightcoral]”He’s not going to be happy… and I don’t know what to do… “[/color] She said softly, looking back to Hunter, leaning into him, and laying her head on his shoulder, finding comfort in the simple closeness, and finding it amazing that it was so easy. And how that could make her heart beat fast. 

The sound of her fathers voice pierced the air, and Cassie stiffened slightly, and she looked back, realising that he hadn’t seen them, his phone having his attention. Something seemed wrong… for a moment, everything else took a back seat as she turned towards her father, worried. He never took care of himself… he'd work himself to death, especially for Syleste and Sebastian, Angel or not. 

[color=lightcoral]”Dad? What is it?”[/color] Had something else happened? Had something happened to Syleste, Sebastian? No… if something had happened, she was sure that things would be crazy. She hadn’t been that far gone over Hunter to not notice running and alarms, had she?
