With my world so neatly put on its end, I can think of nothing better to do than flee as well. In the bare essentials of what I need to trek outside, I find my feet guiding me into the center of town rather than the forest where I would typically take refuge. The chance of encountering a pack mate, or several, for that matter, sours the place of my most wanted retreat.

The chance of running into a Wselfwulf anywhere makes me ill.

And yet, despite these fears, I’ve inadvertently directed my feet in the direction of Zoelle's patisserie and cafe.

I’m standing before the cafe cheerfully decorated windows before I know it. My walk is a blur in my mind, but my ears and nose ache with the stinging cold of the journey. I rake my eyes over the window paint, seeing past the swirls and shapes to the figures that patron her space.

There aren’t too many inside—only three to be exact, a couple and a lone woman who sits at the table nearest the window. Her ambivalent gaze falls upon me, clearly questioning my odd stature before the store. And then I see Zoelle, or rather, she sees me.

A smile lights up her face, and she motions for me to come inside. I hesitate, but in the end, I shuffle inside.

Warm, sugary concoctions and flavored coffee perfume the air heavily. A deeper inhalation reveals the fragrance of dark chocolates and loaves of bread. It’s a comfort, and one the patrons seem to bask in.

“This is a surprise,” Zoelle greets, pulling me into a hug. “Did you walk here? Where’s your hat and scarf? Did your cousin leave?”

Her questions are entirely innocent, but my response falls short. Zoelle’s regard sharpens on the way my brows draw lightly together, and finally I find my reply.

“Can I sit over there?” I point in the general direction of the back tables, and Zoelle nods.

“Let me take your coat. You go sit, and I’ll grab us some coffee, or would you prefer tea?”

“Tea would be great.” I shrug off my coat, handing it to her with a small smile and brushing my windswept hair back. I long for a hair tie or some headband to rule over the mess it has become, but all I've taken is my coat and phone. Not even my wallet made the trip.

I cringe internally as I sit. Zoelle is already back behind the counter fixing up our drinks. Every now and then her hand strays to her abdomen, a fond smile appearing on her lips as she does so. A pain strikes my heart, one induced by jealousy. I steer my gaze away to dampen it before she returns.

“So, what brings you around?” Zoelle asks and wipes her hands on her little black apron before taking a seat across from me.

“I just needed to get out of the house,” I say, combing my fingers through the end of my snowy hair.

“Bored out of your mind?” she asks jokingly. The corner of my lips tilts downward as I sink back into my seat.
