"I think the choice makes all the difference," Dwayne agrees sleepily. Josh is bigger, but he doesn't always feel like it, and after everything, he feels a little fragile. If Aaron had given Dwayne the choice? Well, he still wouldn't have taken it, but trust was also an issue.

In a little more time, Dwayne could have offered, and it would have worked. This wasn't what they're wanted, but it was enough. "I think it all works out, that's the important thing," he says. "I think it all would have anyway, but... It worked this way, too, and that's what matters." He likes to think about that perfect life sometimes, retired in a nice house in the Caymans, running or ATVing in the dunes and watching the sun set over the beach with frilly drinks and steals on the grill.

But they have this instead, and it's not bad... It's just going to take some work, and adjusting, and a lot of leaning on each other. "You should at least try and jog a little today if you can manage, too, get some stretching in." Josh's muscles are changing even though he hasn't shifted yet, and the exercise is good for shaking off the nerves. He doesn't move, though: it's just a note. For later. "But I think you're gonna be a great wolf. We'll get through the first change, let you have a while to get used to it, and then you can have a chance for the *good* that comes out of... this whole mess."
