"It's my business if I have to sit here 'n watch it!" Cooper yelled at her. He felt an irrational sort of possessiveness come over him. More than just being close or being friends, he felt as if Nancy belonged to him in a way that she didn't for other people. They shared a bond beyond that of someone he just fed off of from time to time.

He paced back and forth in front of her, agitated and still upset. "You can do whatever you like on your own time. Have five of 'em in here at once if that's what pays your rent." His eyes flashed dangerously and it was very apparent that Nancy was alone in her home with a predator who could do exactly what he wanted. There was fury across his face like he'd never shown her. "But don't ever let me catch you with another one again. Or I swear I'll kill him right in front of you."
