Both of us had fallen inexplicably in love with the same man. The wolf with two different eyes.

He had shaken us up. Our foundations were strong. I had no doubt we would come out on the other side.Changed, though.

I set the glass down and grabbed my coat. I had to get out of here, grab some lunch, and maybe take a walk to clear my head.

I went into my favourite bakery and stopped dead.

Am I imagining this?

He’d occupied my brain so much I assumed I had to be seeing things.

No, itwashim. I would have recognised that man anywhere.

I retreated and pulled my phone out and texted Bo. He should still be on his lunch break.

Ollie: I just ran into Kaspar at the bakery

Bo: Really? What did he say? Tell him I say hi

Ollie: I haven't spoken to him yet. I wanted to tell you first.

Bo: say hi!!

Ollie: I will…

Bo: Do you want to ask him if he wants to see us again?

Ollie: Yes, but only if you want that, too, darling

Bo: I…

Ollie: You can tell me

Ollie: Remember what we said?

Ollie: Nothing or nobody will ever get between you and me

Ollie: We are mated and we will love each other forever

Ollie: Nothing will change that

Bo: you own my heart forever, älskling

Bo: Being with him felt great

Bo: I’m not missing anything

Ollie: I know what you mean

Ollie: It just adds to how good it is already

Ollie: it felt so right

Bo: Yes, it did

Bo: Ask him. Please.

I went back inside and walked up to where he stood in the queue.
