Even so, she was afraid she was going to have to find a second job to cover her expenses: life as a werewolf, she had found, was as expensive financially as it was personally. The biggest bonus was the free meal she got each shift. Tim, the restaurant owner (who was Irish, not Italian for all that he made the best gnocchi in Chicago) let her take extra shifts - though he wouldn't let her work more than fifty hours a week. You'd think that people would have better things to do on Thanksgiving than go eat at an Italian restaurant. But the twelve-hour shift she'd just finished at Scorci's was enough to make even her bones ache. It was true that being a werewolf gave her greater strength and endurance, even in human form.
