I was still half-asleep, wrapped in my robe and trying to brush my hair without ripping half of it out, when someone knocked on my door. I opened it.
Reid stood there in simple dark clothes, looking calm like always.
"Morning," he said. "Got a minute?"
"Yeah, sure. Come in." I stepped back and immediately caught my foot on the edge of the rug. I grabbed the back of the chair to steady myself. "Shit. Sorry. Still waking up."
He closed the door and leaned against it. "I'm going to try shifting today. First time since I came back. I need to know what's left of my wolf after ten years in that seal."
I stared at him. "Wait. So…like…you want me there?"
"Yeah."
My stomach dropped. "Reid… I've never actually seen someone shift before. I've seen wolves, but the shifting part? No. I don't think I can watch that."
He stayed quiet, watching me.
