Abernathy decided at the moment to keep the Halloween incident to herself. "I can't even really get into it too much. I ran into Leon and we started talking kind of awkwardly and then it was just normal, like I was talking to a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. It was fucking..." She struggled to find the word. "Surreal," she finished.
"We talked about all kinds of things, school, friendships, growing up in weird families. I can't believe how easy he was to talk to. It's really turning my head around."
