"Um… yes. I may have gotten really sick back home, and they told me I needed to come here." Niya looked at me sheepishly.
"You were sick? Niya! Why didn't you call?" I gasped.
"Because I knew you would rush over, and I didn't want that. Plus, when I talked to my therapist, she said that I would heal faster if I surrounded myself with you guys," Niya replied.
"By that, you really mean Evan. After all, he is your mate," I stated.
Evan puffed his chest out like he was proud, and even though it was small, Niya smiled.
"I also need your love and support," Niya added.
"And I'll always be here to give it." I smiled.
"Really? You won't be too busy with your mate, queen duties, and doctor training?" Niya teased.
"I'll make time for you! Plus, if I don't have time, your mate will be more than happy to drop what he's doing." I winked at Evan.
Niya just rolled her eyes and turned to Atlas. "I just want to say thank you for what you did…."
