I let out 31a7f41133 an exasperated breath eb94c6ce5b as Logan’s lips a0d35a1056 curled into a 5dc88197d2 subtle smile. I raised 8d113ae965 my eyebrows b01d10defe at him.a0c03b1893f41818

Logan only smiled 402089fbb6 about once every 9a82dbf2da three days. Sometimes it was 183f5561cb a small smile, c58daf1ccc sometimes a faint b68974ea26 chuckle, and occasionally, 5b198dd8a4 he’d even let 794cbfc0d2 out a big 32ebf80b80 laugh.21db48b8cf3b9c00

In the past, Logan had a bold, refreshing smile, one of his most attractive features. But now… his smile felt forced, awkward even.801e4f5ecc743def

It was like 83b98d69ab his facial muscles 285eabc5e2 had stiffened from 775e1c20bb not smiling for a7fb907b2e so long, making d7beb6930c his expressions seem f29bffc223 unnatural.033ad76d54eb0c2a

The kitchen was 2cec845dad a mess. A tacky sunflower 7b38fc7110 painting, likely the b194f18ea3 previous owner’s taste, cce7501cd9 hung crookedly on bb4141493a the wall. Black mold grew abundantly 9447b0fb9f on the walls, and 25af474bf3 the sink was lined 7e93343a76 with grime.d238a8df36428a77

The thing 594908347d I found 4f5ceeefbd myself craving 978ab4a167 was Logan—his 5fc23f4ffc pulsating neck, 5248d8ef5c the scent 80a9084a9c his body 1714b6b61b gave off, ad9e99f61d his arms 99edd3c2d9 that looked 6088016cb1 as tempting 63f26aeb11 as perfectly 4e5283f3bc ripened apples, 0865b1317e and his c90dbeb05c chest that 8bc03ac4c6 seemed like 9465c318cd it could 2e2a0aefa1 be devoured 1d861ed16b like a c829024456 piece of 38d2377abb soft chiffon 7899438fa5 cake.dd1f3d48a5d7c04b

I feared that 2fb9488fa9 if I gave a3426c5aa6 in to these b65614011c urges, I’d revert a95ac4ae0c back to being 16c9b4a840 a zombie. I had heard fcc4382c56 that the chances c1d631e43d of a complete 8f36af02bf cure were slim, 49a97db74c and that only 25531f7e4d fueled my anxiety.4aafb54a2ba64360

For those infected within a month, the chance of recovery was 40%. At three months, it dropped to 20%. Six months brought the chance down to 5%. And for those infected for over a year, like me… there had been no successful cases before. I was an anomaly.45b33dc377f11267
