Julian tapped his fingers together—a nervous habit he'd picked years ago, though he honestly couldn't remember where—as he watched Theresa speaking with Debbie. She was… so beautiful. He'd been on earth for a few decades now, leaving for new grounds whenever people became suspicious of him. But considering he was quiet different by human standards, he didn't particularly mind. No one tended to miss him, and he didn't really miss any of them either.
But Theresa… He'd never seen a girl as lovely as she was. And such a beautiful personality to accompany her looks! No one had ever been as kind to him as she had; no one but Theresa had tried to understand him. He would miss her when he had to leave this place…
He briefly considered telling her that he wasn't a human, but he quickly shot the idea down as foolish. She was still a mortal—they couldn't be together. She'd grow old and find a man who would age with her, and they'd have children and grandchildren and be so happy… But Julian couldn't give her any of that, and he wasn't selfish enough to deny her those simple things.
"Julian, are you okay? You look sad."
Julian jumped at the sound of that exquisite voice—how had she gotten so close with him noticing? He was losing his touch—but he quickly recovered and smiled at her.
"I am fine," he assured her, "but I thank you for your concern."
She didn't seem to be convinced, but she nodded all the same. He was saved further questions by the sound of the bell, and he quickly gave the excuse that he had to be off and hurried down the hall. He could almost feel her gaze on his back as he fled.
…Leaving Norrisville was going to be the hardest thing he'd ever done, he just knew it.
