Despite all Kyle has learned about his father's family and the aliens, he's been lucky. He had his mom and dad for most of his life. Parents who doted on him and who knew how to handle the man he had been then. The boy even.
They hadn't had to face this in him, and his dad had ignored a lot of it and left his bother to handle most of it.
Jordan and Piper's family hadn't had that chance and they had dealt with it all the best they could. Good or bad.
"Never read those. Ever. There's nothing there that is meant to help. Only to taunt you." He truly believed that and he wouldn't pretend otherwise.
He smiles at her then. "So you'll be safe tonight. I hope. I can stay up and make sure things are safer even, if you want. If you think it will help." He's willing to do whatever she thinks might help. If he can. "If you think that would help. I won't be offend if you think I can't help. I know we're still getting to know one another."
And he doesn't expect her to trust him like that either.
He laughs at that, giving her a look. "Oh well, then we should make a show of you going home with me. Someone from the sheriff's office might show up. Probably not my mom. She would likely send Max to come by and check things out."
