CHAPTER 12
After doing a little grocery shopping, Amy and I had a long talk over cappuccino at the café, trying to come up with ways that I could get Matt to give our Mating Union a chance at being a “love thing.” However, I knew I couldn’t force him to give “us” a chance, and Amy agreed. So, eventually, we came to the conclusion that I’d just have to give things a little time.
Matt would “come around” if we were meant to be, Amy said. And if a week or so passed and he didn’t “come around,” or didn’t show many signs of doing so soon, then I’d just have to make a decision on whether or not to stay in Greenwood, or ask to be paired with either another shifter in Greenwood, or a shifter from a different USSA community.
The reason I’d only have a week or so to figure things out is because Matt and I were scheduled to get married, along with several other couples, including Amy and Mack, at the village hall the day before Thanksgiving. This was because marriage was an official prerequisite to formally enter into a government-sanctioned Mating Union.
Meaning, as Amy reminded me, that a woman had to marry the shifter she’d been paired with before she could start the one-year countdown to her first big annual paycheck from the government for her services as the non-shifter-but-shifter-gene-positive half of a Mating Union. And the government asked that Mating Union couples get married quickly, within a week or so, after being paired.
After finishing the last of my cappuccino, I set the foam cup down with a sigh. “See, the thing is, if I felt like there was zero chemistry between me and Matt, and if I felt like we didn’t have any kind of a connection and could never develop one, I probably wouldn’t even be contemplating leaving Greenwood. As long as I thought he was a decent guy, I’d probably just stay, just hoping that maybe we’d get along all right in the bedroom, even if our match was never a total ‘love thing.’ But because I feel like it could be at some point, if Matt would just open his heart to me, that’s why I’m conflicted.”
I sighed and then continued, “A marriage of casual friendship and convenience just for the purpose of producing children seems like it could possibly be hellish in some ways, but I can’t think of anything worse than falling in love with a man who will never love you back because he just refuses to let himself…and something just tells me that I could probably fall in love with Matt pretty easily. Then there’s also the fact that I obviously want my husband to love our kids with his whole heart, like I told you earlier, and that’s another issue with Matt. Being paired with a man and having him never fall in love with me was something I knew was a possibility when we came here,
