   Summary

   "You're a vampire," she says calmly.
   "Yes."
   "I'm not sure whether to be relieved that I was right or terrified that I was right." She's not lying either. She's a bit of both right now.
   "Terrified would be the commonly expected reaction," I say softly. Her face is rigid, she's obviously distressed, confused, overwhelmed. I want to help her, to use my gift to calm her, but equally I want her honesty in this moment. If I have any chance at all at honesty with her, she has to be able to process this at her pace.
   "I was sort of hoping I had some kind of injury from banging my head so hard," she tells me, her tone and emotional state bitter and slightly wild. "I don't suppose there's any chance this is a hallucination?"
   "No, I'm afraid not," I say gently.
