"I don't know if I would like that or not," said Rochelle. "But I guess I could try whatever spaghetti is. It doesn't sound too bad." She gave a slight sheepish grin. "I think I've had something like meatballs before, but I don't think it was with spaghetti."

"OK, well, we'll try that," Sully said. "Only thing is, spaghetti might be a bit hard for you to eat if you've never had it before. It's long strands of pasta. I can teach you how to eat it so it won't be messy. And I think I will get the lasagna, and you can try a taste of that, too, to see if you would like it."

"Alright," Rochelle said. "That sounds like a good idea. I don't think that I want to make a big mess." She gave other sheepish grin. A pretty fat guy was eatting what Rochelle figured was spaghetti, and he had sauce all over his mouth. "I don't want to end up like that guy," she said nodding in his direction.

Sully laughed. "No, I'm sure you don't. But don't worry, I can teach you how to eat it so you won't look like that. It's not really hard... some people just don't care how they look, so they don't bother."

"Oh," said Rochelle. "I want to blend in with humans. I don't want to appear different, because of what has happened before. Hunters are everywhere and you never know when they're listening." Rochelle frowned for a second, looking at the table setting. She was familiar with each utensil, but never really used any of them, since she never really ate out that much except a few times at the place in Hogsmeade. As she looked up, she noticed the waiter looking at her strangely. Rochelle gave him a short smile. The waiter cleared his throat and turned to Sully. "What can I get you," he asked with an accent.

Sully gave the waiter a smile. "She'll have the spaghetti with meatballs, and I'll have the lasagna," he replied. "What do you want to drink?" he asked Rochelle.

"Water will be fine," said Rochelle. After Sully placed his drink order and the waiter disappeared, Rochelle sighed a sigh of relief. "What is it with people looking at me funny?"

"I'm sure he was just intrigued by your beauty," Sully replied, unconcerned. "I know when I met you, I couldn't take my eyes off of you."

Rochelle turned a slight pink again. "Um, whatever you say," she said noticing his unconcernedness. She gave him a sheepish grin. "I know you were pretty hairy then, but I have to say, you were pretty nice looking even then. Of course, I'm just used to hairiness," she said with a laugh.

Sully laughed. "Well, I had a lot of experience at not caring what people thought of me, love. Honestly, if people are looking at you strangely, that's their problem, not yours. To me, you'll always be the most beautiful woman in the room." he ran his hand over the beginnings of a fresh beard. "So, you prefer the hairy look, then? That can be arranged, you know."

Rochelle laughed. "I like the scruffiness better. I like the feel of a the new hair. I don't know why. It suits you better than being completely shaven, although, I can't say you don't look bad like that though. Hairiness or not, you still look nice."

"I'm not used to caring how I look, or having anyone else care about how I look," Sully admitted. "But I think if I look good now, it's because of how you make me feel. I feel so good when I'm with you."

Rochelle gave a goofy grin. "Well, I like you anyway you are," said Rochelle. "So it doesn't matter to me how you look. I didn't even really know what a comb really was until we went to France. There, we had to blend in the best we could, so I tried my best. I still had to have Gretchen help me. I don't think I'm really used to all the nice clothing and things."

"I wish I could give you pretty dresses and things and take you out to nice places," Sully said. But the truth is, I think you're beautiful no matter what you wear. And I'd really much rather be alone with you than share you with the rest of the world."

Rochelle gave a shy smile. "Thank you," she replied quietly. "Sometimes when people look at me strangely, it seems like they know what I am, so that's what has made me not want to go out where there is a lot of people, but with you there with me, it doesn't matter."

"I doubt people can tell what you are just by looking at you," Sully said. "As much as I thought I knew about werewolves, I didn't suspect. And yet, once you told me... it all made sense. And suddenly I didn't care anymore. That isn't what makes you who you are. It's what's in your heart."

"You know, back then, I would have never expected you to say anything like that," said Rochelle with a warm smile. "I wish that everyone would see that. That's our purpose of traveling in packs and trying to hide. Not everyone takes a liking to us, which I can't really blame them that much for it. If one of us was to just come out and say that we are what we are, then we'd all be murdered. Some of us do deserve it, but then there are the good ones who are just your everyday people. The good ones are the ones you least expect."

Sully smiled at her. "And I never would have thought I would be saying that. I never saw the possibility that someone could be... what you are... and still be a good person. I could only see the monster who killed Jessica." He sighed. "You know that a part of me is always going to love her, right? It doesn't mean I love you less. It means.... it means I was a different person then, and that person still misses her."

Rochelle nodded. "I know," she said. "It's not going to hurt me that you still do. I can understand that." She gave him another smile. "The only part I don't like about being what I am is that, people don't like that, and that sometimes I can't control myself in what I do. Sometimes the urge is just to strong, and I'm scared to be around anyone when that happens, because I'm scared that I will be a monster."

Sully nodded. "I know how people react. It's because they don't understand or because they only know about the ones that are bad. And the truth is, I don't even really know that much about it. Maybe you can help me to understand? And who knows, maybe someday soon someone will come up with a treatment... to either cure it or make it so it's not so hard to control. But I love you anyway. And I trust you."
