Wendy drew in a sharp, shaky breath. "Salem?" she questioned as well, even though she knew exactly who it was. His kind face hadn't changed at all. He grew taller and took on the stature of a man.
She noted he had to be at least twenty three by now and the thought made her shiver. It seemed like yesterday his eyes watched helplessly as his friends were terrorized by their parents.
"Look, I don't want there to be anything weird between us. I just want to transition into this new part of my life as smoothly as possible," she murmured, looking at the floor.
Standing next to him, even in heels, she was a good six inches shorter than him and even though there had been vague romantic feelings just a few years ago, she couldn't help but embrace the warm feeling she got looking up at him again. "Are you okay, though? Have you heard from my father? Or Peter?"
