I snort. "Yeah, continue to keep my mouth shut, more like." I can do a month though. I can be patient a little while longer.

But then I'm going to get my slutty omega back, and I'll teach her to never run away from me again. And she'll wish she never had.

Summer

The morning sun is streaming in through my kitchen window, providing just enough light for me to read the manuscript in front of me. I'm doing another passthrough of Dillan's novel, really taking my time this go around. It's no wonder Jerrick was so surprised I finished editing it over the weekend. This kind of attention to detail is taking me a lot longer than the first time I read it.

I've been ready for at least thirty minutes, having woken up from what I think was a nightmare. I can't really remember it, I just remember jerking awake, feeling like I'd free fallen off a building, and my heart was racing. Which is preferable to the horrifically detailed nightmares I've been having. I think that means I'm right, that the time or distance is making it easier, and I'm not feeling the effects of our mate bond as strongly anymore. So instead of rushing through my morning routine and heading to work early like I did last time, I took a long shower, enjoyed a full breakfast, and have been editing until it's time to go into work.

The apartment is so quiet, I can hear the birds chirping outside and the soft ticking of the wall clock. The clock that is edging closer to the time I have to leave for work. I gather all my dirty breakfast dishes into the sink and stuff the manuscript into my purse in case I want to work on it in my free time today or during lunch. Speaking of—I mosey over to the fridge so I don't forget the pasta leftovers from last night.

Keys, phone, purse, and leftovers in hand, I head out the door, locking up as I leave. It's late enough still that the sidewalks are packed with commuters but early enough that everyone is walking at a leisurely, unhurried pace. Nobody is rushing about, fast-walking to work because they overslept. It's nice. I'm half walking to work, half people watching, when my phone rings. It's Ava. I frown at the screen and wonder why she’s calling this early again. Before it can go to voicemail, I answer the call. "Hey, Ava. What's up?"

"Hi, Summer. I'm so sorry to call you this early, but I figured you'd be awake anyways. Listen, Emery called in sick for her shift this evening. Do you think you could cover for her, and she'll cover for you tomorrow?" I wasn't working a twelve hour shift on Saturday this weekend. I was supposed to split it between tomorrow after work and Saturday.

"Ummm..." I pause, thinking for a minute. Is there a reason I couldn't? "Yeah, I can do that. I get off at five," I tell her.
