An entire carafe of coffee, cream, and sugar was brought to her with a grateful,Thank you.
She recalled the water from around the other party and poured herself more coffee. “Thanks for the carafe, Joy. I live on this stuff.”
“I can tell. Are you sure you don’t want anything to eat?”
“Do you have something sweet?”
Joy grinned. “I do. Back in a moment.”
A towering strawberry cheesecake arrived in front of her, and Eliana grinned, looking up at her. “I love you.”
Joy blushed and ducked her head. “Best compliment I have had all week. You were at a wedding?”
“Aw, the tacky dress gave it away?”
“A little.”
“Yeah, my little sister got married, and as soon as I could, I got out of there.”
“How little?”
“She’s twenty-four and wants to be a mom and housewife more than anything. So, this was her entrée into playing house.”
“You don’t look happy about it.”
“My sister lived with my dad, and I lived with my mom. She went vegetarian, and I know how to make a french fry sandwich. I was able to get family to the wedding. Not even our dad showed up for her. He just paid for it.”
“Ouch.”
“Ah. She’s a brat. She even tried to give me extra tasks for after the wedding that would have delayed my arrival on the island. I was extremely specific to highlight how I was leaving tonight. She thought she could use scary bride powers to make me do what she wanted. She was mistaken.”
Joy laughed. “Well, I have to go work. Enjoy the cheesecake.”
Joy walked over to the others and got orders for food. She returned to the galley and did her thing.
The omega got up to go to the restroom, and when he came out, he walked over to her.
She finished her dessert and pushed the plate aside. Her coffee returned to her hand, and she kept writing.
“Um. Excuse me. Miss?”
She didn’t look up. “Omega?”
“Uh, I wanted to apologize for that call. I didn’t tell my alpha about it.”
Elly looked up. “I get it. I was ghosted. Right. Fuck off. I am no longer a terrified girl whose boyfriend had suddenly disappeared. I was ghosted. I understood it after your call. It’s done. It’s over.” She smiled. “I am all grown up. I have my own life now. He isn’t in it. Shoo.” She flicked her fingers, and a ball of water appeared next to his face.
The omega scuttled back to his alpha with wide, scared eyes.
She continued her coffee orgy until the inevitable happened. She got up and walked to the restroom. Once she had finished washing her hands, she opened the door, and an alpha was standing there. “Which one are you?”
He blinked. “You know I am not him?”
“Of course. It’s obvious, and your eyes don’t go red and orange when you look at me.” She looked at him. “You have one minute before I get past you and back to my seat.”
“Henry’s really upset. It was ten years ago, and our bond was new. My brother had given you my card, so that is who you asked for?”
“Yup. He heard a woman, panicked, and was a jealous twit. That just confirmed that he wanted me out of his life. I was not going to chase him, so I let him go. Henry can just think about the impact of his actions.” She looked at him. “Step aside.”
