Chapter Nine
Toni
I thought I had it together, but as soon as my sister appeared on the picto-phone, I burst into tears.
âOh my god, Toni, whatâs wrong?â
âA-a-a-ton left. We had a fight,â I sobbed. âI said and did all the wrong things. Now he hates me.â
âOh, sweetie, Iâm sure he doesnât.â She motioned at Darak who hovered in the background. âI need to speak with my sister,â she whispered before turning her attention back to me. âHe went to cool off. Thatâs what men do. Didnât you and Phillip ever fight?â
âPhillip and I rarely talked.â
âNo Dakonian would abandon his mate,â Darak said.
âPlease? Could we be alone?â
He shook his head but then lumbered off.
âWhat did you fight about?â she asked.
âI canât tell you. Itâs better if you donât know.â I buried my face in my hands. âI screwed up, Lexi. He surprised me withâ¦with someâ¦information, and I didnât react well.â
âHe doesnât have another mate, does he?â
âNo!â
âDid he get fired?â
âHe doesnât have a job to get fired from.â
âRight. Dakonians are independently wealthy.â
They might have only a set of buckskins to their name, but due to the planet being loaded with illuvian ore, every single Dakonian was filthy rich.
My sister widened her eyes with mock horror. âHis motherâs not coming to live with you, is she?â
Despite my anguish, I laughed. âMost mothers arenât like ours,â I said.
âThank the Fates!â
Her usage of the Dakonian phrase brought my mind around to my screwup again. âIâd asked him to move in with me, and then we got into a fight. Now, he probably doesnât want to.â
âToni, Darak is right. When Dakonions meet their mates, they bond. Itâs forever for them. Whatever you did or said youâre afraid might cause him to leaveâwell, it wonât. Heâll be back, and youâll work this out.â
âI wish I could believe it. I hurt him, made him believe I cared more about my job than him.â Iâd lost perspective for a few moments, become preoccupied by the legally awkward situation his revelation had created, but Iâd never considered not being with him.
âAll couples argue. Look at it this wayâyou got your first fight out of the way.â
âWhat should I do now?â
âGive him a little space. Heâll come back soon on his own. If he doesnât, then call him.â
âHe doesnât have a phone yet.â I should have set him up with one. With my head in the clouds, practical matters had fallen by the wayside. Maybe this fight had been a wake-up call that we needed to pay attention to practical matters, too.
âGo to his apartment.â
What if he didnât want to see me? What he slammed the door in my face?
I wished I could confide more in my big sister, but it was better she remained ignorant. I wouldnât want to implicate her in anything illegal. Besides, when youâve committed a crime, the fewer people who were aware, the better your odds of getting away with it. The stupidest thing you could do was shoot off your mouth.
With a start, I realized I had decided how to handle this development: do nothing.
