Some of them, yeah. I was engaged. To a really great guy. But then I died and came back a zombie and everything was...different. I called off the wedding because I didn't know what the hell was happening to me. I pulled away from everyone, I switched being a resident doctor to the assistant coroner. It wasn't until my boss caught me eating and he figured out what I was that I kind of...came out of my shell a little.
[ Their sodas come and she lets him deal with ordering the chicken. Then, she continues. ]
I never told my mom or my little brother. It just seemed like a bad idea, you know? And then my brother was hurt and he needed a blood transfusion. I match him. Or I used to when I was alive. But if I'd given him my blood it would have...I couldn't turn him into a monster. So I refused. And now my mom and brother hate me, I haven't talked to or seen them in over a year, and...sometimes I feel pretty alone. But I'm not. That ex-fiance knows now, he's a zombie. Or he was, he's cured. My partner at the police department knows, my best friend. And I have zombie friends. But man, at the start, it was kind of rough. Really rough.
