Mark and Chloe wasted no time once they got home. They stripped out of their clothes and walked out onto the front porch.
Chloe shivered as the breeze rippled over her skin.
"Cold?" Mark pulled her against him.
"I won't be in a minute." She looked up at him. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." He hugged her tightly. "What's up?"
"We've been changing a lot the last couple of days. Is that okay? Will we hurt ourselves?"
His laugh was low and soft. "If we kept up the pace it might, but our bodies demand that we shift as often as we can. Sometimes that's not possible. Did you find you had problems if you weren't able to shift when you wanted to?"
She shrugged. "Sort of. It's hard when you live in a city. You have to find places to go on weekends and things. And I didn't know nearly as much about it as you do."
"Dakota Furcal, who's married now to Jonah Grey, raises herbs among other things. Cultivates them. Mixes them from special formulas that help us deal with this."
