Chapter Fourteen
The following night, Cymbre used a straightener to tame the wavy ends of her hair. She hadnât been on a real date in ages. When sheâd first come to town, sheâd dated a few of the males, just thankful to be able to choose who to date and not forced to spend time with someone she didnât want to. But once sheâd settled in and realized that no one in town was her truemate, dating for fun hadnât seemed so fun anymore.
When she and Ivar had woken from their nap the day before, theyâd tumbled in the sheets again and then gotten dressed and gone out for a bite to eat. Sheâd called it a date, but he said it wasnât a real date. Then he promptly asked her if he could take her out to dinner and sheâd happily said yes. Theyâd gathered his things from Breakerâs, and sheâd contacted Arely during the day to let her know the good news.
They werenât mated yet. But she didnât mind waiting and getting to know him, plus he was still hoping to hear good news from Jewel about his sisterâs whereabouts. She knew he might be leaving soon, but heâd promised to take someone with him for support, and that had eased the ache in her stomach. She was still going to miss him hard, but at least he wasnât heading into danger alone.
After work, sheâd hurried home to wash off the paint from her craft with the kids, and then sheâd stood in front of the closet for far too long trying to decide what to wear.
The front door opened. âHey, babe, you still here?â Arely called.
âYeah, Iâm in the bathroom.â
Arely appeared in the doorway a few moments later. âYou look great!â
âThanks. I havenât been on a date in so long. Iâm nervous!â
âBut heâs your truemate.â
âI know. Itâs hard to explain.â
âAre you guys coming back here tonight?â
Cymbre put the straightener on the counter and turned to look at her bestie. âIâm glad youâre here because I wanted to talk to you about that.â
âYou have a mate. You should take the house.â
âItâs your house too.â
She waved a hand dismissively. âIf I had a mate, you can bet Iâd kick your butt out of here, in the nicest way possible, of course.â
Cymbre laughed. âI wouldnât mind.â
âYeah, but youâre the one with the mate. Jynx offered to let me stay with her, and Diem said I could have her spare bedroom. It might be nice to be close to the school. If I stayed at Diemâs I could walk when the weather is nice.â
âYou could probably get one of the empty houses too,â Cymbre said. âOr Ivar and I could pick one.â
âNah. This is a great house for a mated pairâitâs got rooms for babies. Iâll graciously leave so long as your kids get to call me Aunt Arely.â
Cymbre hugged her. âOf course! The same goes for your kids.â
âYou bet. I just have to find my pesky truemate first.â
They chatted about their days, and then Cymbre went to find her favorite heels and Arely went to pack a bag for the weekend.
