Excerpt
“You have your grandfather’s eyes.”
Abigail felt her heart skip as she was compared to her grandfather, and it was only thanks to her years of experience as a doctor that she was able to keep her composure. Even then, she still took a moment to breathe before she trusted herself to speak.
“Thank you. I inherited most of his notes and private files from my parents after their deaths.”
Amélie nodded as she sat down on the edge of the guest bed, “I had hoped you might… your grandfather took very good notes even though he had to keep them locked up. Your father was just beginning to study medicine, the last time I saw him. Your grandparents…your father…I owe your family a great deal.”
Abigail smiled at Amélie as she took a pen from her pocket and picked up her notebook. “From what I learned, his papers on your childhood and adolescent years were the first real modern medical study of its kind with a young werewolf.”
Amélie nodded. “He never made it a condition of staying there, but I felt it was a way I could help. To give something back.” Her face fell as her voice grew quiet. “I am sorry I was not there to mourn with your parents when he passed. That I was not there for you… I had no idea Yonathan had a daughter.”
Abigail was struck by the pain and guilt in Amélie’s eyes. “I don’t hold it against you, Amélie. I didn’t even know you were real until I read the journals. I thought you were a bedtime story my grandfather had invented. ‘The little wolf princess’…” She shook her head. “I still have a hard time believing I am here speaking with you, if I’m honest.”
Amélie laughed softly. “I was never a princess… but I feel just as strange, if it helps.”
“It does,” Abigail smiled before clearing her throat and turning to a blank page, “So. I want to gather some basic information…can you tell me when you last had a proper physical?”
“1968…” Amélie offered after a moment’s thought. “I think.”
Abigail’s eyes went wide, “That’s…oh, we are going to give you a complete workup.”
