Leilani.
By the time I got home, all tired and drained from the events of the day, it was already late at night.
It wasn't even until I had kicked off my shoes and dropped into my bed that I realized I hadn't had any meals for the day. But at the moment, did I care?
Oh, I didn't.
All I cared about was the fact that Jay's question wouldn't stop repeating itself over and over in my mind like it was on a fucking loop. All I cared about was the way he had looked at me when I couldn't bring myself to respond.
When I couldn't reassure him.
When I couldn't bring myself to ease his very valid fears.
"Imagine what would happen now that you've finally accepted their marks?" He had said, and truth be told, I needed no soothsayer to know what that meant. I needed no one to explain anything to me before understanding that he fears the mate pull, and that he was scared that it would pull us closer to each other then we already were.
—And funny enough, it was already doing that!
