*Archer* 'Will you stop whining, Jagger? She's about to land in five,' I asked for the umpteenth time. My sappy wolf huffed at me and whined even louder to irritate me further, so I cut off our connection entirely. He has been this way since we waved goodbye to our Mimi five days ago. The moment the plane took off, I felt her absence acutely. I missed her instantly. However, I managed to cope with this separation better than my wolf, thanks to the support of my father-in-law and the distraction of work. I immersed myself in potential clients, conversations, and gradually finalizing details. I didn't need to find a new recipient for the sawmill, but I noticed how upset Mimi was about our broken contract with the city. I understand that whatever I said wouldn't change her unwarranted sense
