[ Julie has never known what it was that made her fall so hard before, get so sucked into his orbit. Why others were able to wake up from Flagg's hypnotism and she never did. She reckons she must be broken somehow inside, because even the witch hadn't ever tried to reach her. Maybe she's a magnet for this kind of demonic energy. Weak to it.
Whatever it is, it seems to wash over her like a wave on the shore, and by the time she's spinning back to his arms, any wariness she'd had is gone. Yes, something is different here and she can tell, but it just doesn't seem like a real problem.
She looks at him like she's hanging on his every word. He leans so close that she can feel his breath against her ear, and she can't catch the gasp that accompanies her full-body shiver. ]
How did you stay alive? [ No suspicion in her voice at all anymore. Just rapt attention. (The way she used to listen to Flagg's stories.) Without thinking, she presses close. ] I thought you're human.
