I liked Thomas. He was the second person I encountered in my new life-the first, obviously, being Harry.

I was young, but I remember I didn't feel a sense of danger from him. He wasn't human, but he wasn't dangerous.

I quickly learned he was. What I sensed in the car came out when he fed on that girl Justine. Harry didn't like that just as much as me. Probably more so.

I puzzled over this contradiction, until the pieces fell in place. My first impression was from when Thomas was with Harry - someone he would never hurt.
