IRIS
The first day it happened, I told myself Ronan was probably grieving and still feeling down. I had spent the day with Leo and I knew he had been busy with pack issues.
So when he was quiet at dinner and his answers to my questions were short and he excused himself early to review patrol reports, I let it go. I told myself he would come back when he was ready.
The second day, I started to doubt everything was fine.
He was up before me and already gone when I came downstairs. There was coffee in the pot and breakfast on the counter but the house felt emptier without him. I wandered through the rooms, picking up Lily's toys, straightening pillows, looking for something to do with my hands that didn't involve reaching for him through the bond. I had planned to spend the day with Rona
