      It’s Kind of a Funny Story: A Conversation With Susan Jane Gilman

      Chapter 1

      Griffith

      I opened my eyes blearily.

      What was that sound?

      Sitting up, I tried to shake the sleep off. I'd been up late trying to work out the bugs in a new program I'd been writing and had only gone to sleep...I checked the clock.

      Half past four in the morning.

      A couple hours ago.

      Man, no wonder I felt like shit.

      The sharp knocking started up again.

      Fuck. Who was up at this hour? And why the fuck did they decide to inflict the same pain on me?

      I fell back onto the bed.

      Maybe they'd go away.

      A pause.

      And then the knocking started up again.

      With a sigh, I grabbed my sweatpants and pulled them on. It would serve whoever it was at the door right if I just showed up in the buff, but I didn't really want my boys hanging out there all vulnerable.

      The cobwebs cleared as I walked down the hall to the front door, not bothering to turn on any of the lights.

      I could see clearly in a lot less light than this. One of the advantages of being a wolf.

      I opened the door mid-knock.

      And almost physically staggered back as the past collided with the present.

      She'd changed. But then so had I.

      Her jeans and long sleeved t-shirt showcased the more generous curves she'd acquired, though it was also obvious her body was honed and strong. She was still a couple of inches shorter than me, her hazel eyes striking against the warm brown of her skin. Her dark hair was shorter, cut just above her shoulders and framing her striking face.

      She was even more beautiful now.

      I felt the pang in my heart, still there even after this many years.

      But there had to be a reason she came looking for me.

      Reina? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?

      Yes. It's Sofia.

      Sofia? Reina's little sister must be...fuck, in her twenties now.

      What happened?

      Now that I'd gotten over the shock, I could see the lines of stress and worry on her face.

      Can I come in?

      Yeah, of course.

      I moved back and she stepped passed me. Her scent followed, the same slightly minty evergreen smell that had driven me wild.

      And, unfortunately, apparently still did.

      I closed the door and gestured for her to take a seat on the couch as I sat in one of the armchairs across from it.

      What happened? I repeated.

      She scrubbed at her face wearily, looking even more tired as she sat down.

      I tried not to look at the way the movement pulled her shirt against her chest.

      Which made me feel like a real heel when she was obviously going through something.

      Alright, I needed to focus here.

      Dad sealed a political alliance with Manny. She was part of the deal. You know how they are about all that bloodline bullshit. Her face tightened. And he made sure to wait until I was out of town to pull this shit.

      I leaned back in the chair, trying to process this.

      Political alliances sealed with what amounted to arranged marriages weren't unheard of, but they were increasingly rare.

      And it was beyond surprising that Mariana would let John do that to her daughter.

      How could Mariana let that happen?

      Reina looked at me with faded pain in her eyes.

      Mom's dead. She died three years ago. Car accident.

      That hit me right in the gut. Mariana had been one of the sweetest, most nurturing people I'd ever met. I could never understand how she and John had gotten together in the first place.

      I'm so sorry. And didn't that just sound completely inadequate. But there weren't any words to adequately convey the grief I felt at the news, or how much the loss must have hurt Reina.

      Thank you. She looked away and I
