"It's so good to have you back, Nix," Jamison told me. For the hundredth time.
"Thanks, Jam," I replied politely.
The guy stared at me from across the table. It was a stare that lingered longer than what was comfortable. Not creepy, but... definitely sending signals I'm not sure what to do with.
He likes you, Lyre told me.
No sh.it, I grumbled.
Tell him we are waiting for our mate, she said.
Lyre, we've told him that a hundred times. I replied. When has it ever mattered to him?
Maybe it will now, she mumbled.
Doubtful, I said. Look at how he's already acting. He was more forward than I ever remember.
Maybe because Mom keeps telling everyone that we're here to stay. She replied.
I sighed internally.
