“How
are eggs
okay?” she asked for the third time, arms folded.
I
could tell Jack didn’t want to answer. His bright red ears signaled
his fluster. He looked at me for help.
Frankly,
I too was intrigued. Jack Frost, my healer, followed a strict vegan
lifestyle. The cooks in our house (oh, yes, two of ‘em) took his
preferences seriously, making creative and sumptuous vegan dishes for
him while the rest of us ate our veggies the way we do in New
Orleans–flavored with pork products! (Rumor has it that a certain
chef never realized you could serve vegetables without meat until he
joined the Army.) Jack snubbed meats (clearly), seafood, and any kind
of dairy. His acceptance of eggs stunned me too.

Immediately,
a revolting image flooded my mind. I clasped my hand to my mouth,
then managed, “Please don’t tell me meat comes back to life when
you chew it.” I grimaced, dreading the answer.
The
instigator of this now wholly unsavory topic, Saffron Jolly, took an
alarmed step back. “Oh, dear god!”
“No,
no,” Jack calmed us. “Nothing like that.”
Thank
goodness. ‘Cause the idea totally grossed me out.
Jack’s
healing abilities far surpassed your typical doctor. He could heal
with a touch, as in well-and-truly heal. No pain, no scar, and in no
time at all. He can even bring back the dead. Well, dead-ish. That
might make my horrible vision a little less insane, cold comfort that
may seem…
“In
fact, I’m not sure vegetarianism is something all healers adopt. We
didn’t eat together.” At “healer school,” I assumed. “Others
may very well eat meat.”
“Then
why?”
Jack
has always been and remains an extremely private person. I know
little about him, even though we spend a great deal of time together.
As my healer, he’s attached to me, for lack of a better term.
Wherever I go, he goes. Whatever I do, he does. All a precaution;
should something happen to me, he’ll be there.
Truth
be told, a fair number of things happen to me. Long story, that.
“When
I eat … certain foods, I’m aware of the consciousness of the
animal. It’s last few moments of life become a part of me. And
typically, that features tremendous amounts of fear.”
I
hung my head. “I had no idea.”
“Even
in dairy. While most cows aren’t in pain or afraid, the
circumstances of their existence become mine. Usually boredom, but
sometimes aggravation or, in some cases, horrible depression.” He
stuffed his gloved hands in his pockets. “So, I avoid those foods.”
“Okay,”
Saffron nodded. “But eggs don’t give you any of that?”
She
nodded in understanding. “I’ll go fix you some eggs.”
“I’m
sorry we pried,” I said.
“To
be honest, I’m surprised no one has asked sooner.” He gave a
small nod. “No need for apology, ma’am.”
“There
you are,” Nathan Marble, my brother-in-law said as he joined us.
“Hey, there’s a new place that just opened, In The Raw.”
“Like
vegetables?” Jack perked.
“No.
Like sushi, steak tartar, stuff like that. I hear they serve some
bloody burgers. Wanna go?” He asked me.
The
revolting image of reanimated meat still loomed. I clutched my
abdomen. “Um. No thanks.”
