about Cari
Gabe
did you write your letter?
Zed
I decided to deliver it in person. That’s why I called out today
Gabe
wtf dude
Zed
why did you tell me she was married? She’s not fucking married
Gabe
I said she was PROBABLY married
Zed
bullshit. You said married with three kids. Why’d you lie to me?
His typing dots bump and burble for way too long.
Gabe
I was just trying to protect you. Rejection hurts, man. I thought you could get closure this way without any more restraining orders being filed.
Zed
I’m a fully grown dragon. I don’t need you to protect me from the consequences of my own actions
Gabe

My teeth grind together. It’s like he still thinks Cari would never be interested in me. Like she’dpress chargesif I approached her in person.
Zed
what if I told you I have a date with her tomorrow night?
Gabe
Don’t forget to jerk off beforehand. Don’t want a repeat
His flippant response annoys me, especially since he hasn’t apologized forlying to my faceto keep me away from her. And shewantsto see me. She was so cute and awkward and excited when we ran into each other. She might not feel the fated mate pull, but she likes me. She’s never stopped thinking about me.
She’s only dated dragons.
Zed
What if I told you she’s ?? my fated mate?
Gabe’s typing dots appear and disappear a few times before he sends another message.
