    and hearing things, and…look, last night, did you have your window open?" She nodded and paled noticeably. "Did you…" he looked at a corner of the room for no reason, "Hear anything? Anything strange? Anything from, ya know…my room?" When he looked back he was shocked to see tears in Nissa's eyes. She put a hand over her mouth and nodded, and then she said, "I've seen them too. They come to my window at night. Oh God, I thought I was losing my mind!" She began sobbing into her hands. Without thinking, William put an arm around her. She leaned into him and cried on his shirt for a while. When she could talk again she looked up at him, red-eyed. "I thought I was alone," she said. " "Me too," said William. Taking a deep breath, he told her everything that'd happened since the Menskr's apartment. Her eyes got wider and wider as he talked. "I had no idea about the Menskr's baby," Nissa said. "I just knew they kept asking me to help them with their son. I can't believe they'd really do something like that. I mean, they seemed…nice, in a way." "They're monsters," said William. "They're a family," said Nissa. "I mean, they scare me, and I don't want to help them, but have you seen the way the father looks when he talks about his son? Have you heard the mother cry?" William's heart hardened again. "All the more reason they shouldn’t be hurting other people's families," he said. Nissa nodded. "Of course you're right," she said. "I just don't know what to do.

"At least we're together now," he said. "I mean, we're in this together." Nissa smiled. "You and me?" she said. William nodded. "I like that idea," she said. And then she kissed him. William had a heart attack. He was sure he must be having a heart attack. What else could this feeling be? Oh God, he thought, please don’t faint. It was a second before his head cleared enough to realize he was kissing her back. As far as he could tell he had not died and she was not reacting with horror, revulsion, or any kind of homicidal urge. So far this was exceeding his wildest expectations. So he kissed her again, and again, and again, and he didn’t stop her when she went to close the door. He shut his eyes and ran his hands over the sheets on the bed (Nissa's bed!), trying to record all the little details of the moment, as if this experience might have to last him for a lifetime. Which, for all he knew, it would. She sat on his lap. He jumped and was not quite sure how to sit. She turned his face up to hers and kissed him one more time, which helped him relax a bit. Then she said, "I like you, William." His mouth went too dry to talk. "You’re a nice boy. You know that, right?" William blushed. Then Nissa leaned in and whispered in his ear: "But I don't want you to be nice right now. It's okay to be bad. I want you to. You have my ...
