That is not the point, Sienna

Me

I think it is

Love

Madd just got home, GTG. Good luck!

Tori

Okay, that was suspicious

I rubbed my temple, my stress so thick that I didn’t know what I was going to do.

Ask him if he was my mate?

Go with my gut that he wasn’t?

Something else altogether?

Me

I have to get ready for my date

Tori

Alright, I’ll snoop a bit to see if I can figure out why Love’s being weird.

Have fun! Don’t overthink anything!

I groaned, dropping my phone on the countertop and ducking into my bedroom.

Most of the time I’d had to get ready was gone, so I pulled on a pair of panties and a bra. All of my underwear were soft lace, in varying neutral shades. I didn’t really buy bright colors. They just didn’t fit my personality. And my average-sized boobs were obnoxious enough in a bralette that I didn’t dare buy a real, padded bra.

My leggings and a sweater followed. Neither of them were fancy. I didn’t own anything fancy. I wasn’t comfortable dressing that way, so even if I’d had fancy things, I probably wouldn’t have worn them.

After I tugged a brush through my hair and swept some mascara on my lashes, I heard a knock.

Letting out a long breath, I made my way to the front door.

My cat hissed at me as I passed, and I winced.

She really hated me.

“We should find her a new home,” my wolf grumbled, in response to the hiss.

“She’s safe and happy here.”

She hissed again.

“Safe, at least,” I finally said.

My wolf grumbled, but didn’t argue.

I tugged the door open, and my shoulders relaxed at the sight of the man on my porch.
