We’re just finishing up with breakfast when I look over at Mary and bite my lip. I know she’s said before that I could use her car, but I want to make sure again before I do. I clear my throat. “Mary,” I say her name softly.

She turns her head my way. “Yes, dear?” she asks, her tone soft.

“Umm... I was wondering if it’s okay if I borrowed the car this morning?” Mary places her mug on the table and looks up.

“Of course, I’ve told you before whenever you need it, it’s yours. You don’t have to ask. We should really consider a car for you soon,” she rambles.

My eyes widen. Wait, what? They want to get me a car? My eyes swing over to Ryan, who is looking at anyone but me. He knows?

“You don’t have to get me a car. I can work and get one on my own,” I mention quickly, but Mary shakes her head.

“Consider it a wedding gift of sorts,” she replies.

I’m just about to protest, but Ryan puts his hand on my arm. I look up at him and I can see by the look on his face that it’s a lost cause to argue about it with his mom. My shoulders slump forward. I didn’t want them spending money like that on me, but it seems they’ll do it with, or without, my say.

I ended up leaving my car back at my parents’ house. I didn’t think I would need it just for a visit. I didn’t expect to find my mate while visiting Elizabeth. If I would’ve known, I would have taken my car down instead of flying.

I miss my parents very much. I haven’t been away from them for this long. It’s crazy to think that my mother knows about shifters. I had no idea that she knew, but when Elizabeth’s mom told me my mom used to date a shifter before my father came along, I was shocked beyond belief.

Mary leaves the kitchen for a minute, then comes walking back in with her car keys in hand. “Here you go, dear,” she says, handing them over to me.

I bite my lip and give her a smile. “Thank you,” I mumble.

Darren gets up from the table and stretches. “Come on mate, how about watching a movie to relax a bit this morning?” he whispers to Mary.

“That sounds amazing. A chick flick is just what I need,” she squeals happily while clapping her hands.

Darren shifts his hold on his mate and groans. “Seriously? A chick flick?” he mutters.

Mary gives Darren a look that causes him to stop whining. “Yes, a chick flick. I don’t feel like watching something about blowing shit up,” she growls.

“Whatever you want, mate,” Darren replies.

I bite my lip to hide the snicker that wants to escape. Darren and Mary leave the kitchen. But they both shout ‘drive safe’ as they round the corner.

I look over at my mate with a smile on my face and he comes closer, pulling me flush against him.
