Jamie
“You look like the cat that has just swallowed the canary,” Clara said, as they got ready for their early morning rush.
Jamie shrugged and continued putting a new batch of muffins into the oven.
“I’m glad to see you so happy,” Clara continued.
“Thank you. It feels good,” Jamie said. “I can’t really explain it. I wasn’t unhappy before. This is just a different kind of happy.”
“I understand exactly what you are saying,” Clara said. “My whole world changed when I met Dillon. It wasn’t that I was exactly sad before, although I was dealing with John. I just was able to experience everything through a different lens. I was able to feel things that I had never felt possible.”
“Luke came over last night. He brought pizza and beer.”
“Awesome. You didn’t have to cook.”
“He had texted me because he needed to talk to me. Apparently, his father knew mine and knew that my folks were bear shifters.”
“Oh, what did you say?”
“I told him the truth. I told him that I was a bear shifter, but asked him not to tell anyone because it was too dangerous for other people to know.”
“How did he respond to that?” Clara asked.
“He told me that he was a dragon shifter.”
“Wow. That’s a shock.”
“Yes, it was,” Jamie said. “I guess I looked very surprised because he offered to shift in my living room to prove it.”
“That would be an interesting sight.”
“My living room is small. He would break things,” Jamie said.
Clara laughed.
“I was a little worried because dragon shifters are kings of the shifters. They have always kept to themselves, not involving themselves with the rest of the shifter world unless they had no choice,” Jamie said.
“Luke doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would be like that. He was obviously interested in you before he knew that you were a shifter.”
“He said that he’s not and I believe him. Like you said, he has been treating me like gold, and he thought that I was a mundane human. I don’t feel like he is with me just to amuse himself until he finds someone better.”
“Girl, what are you talking about. There is no one better.”
Jamie grinned.
“Thank you,” she said. “I’m just really glad that we had that conversation. It is a huge load off my shoulders that he knows.”
“I’m glad. Now you can relax and just see what direction your relationship goes without having to worry about losing everything over a secret.”
“We had sex again last night,” Jamie admitted. “I’m not going to call it making love, because we aren’t at that stage yet, but he made me feel terrific, and not just physically.”
“So that is why you have the huge grin today. It has nothing to do with finally getting your secret off your chest and more to do with the fact that you and he got together,” Clara teased.
“Maybe a little bit of both.”
Jamie was a little disappointed when Luke didn’t come in for coffee but was pleased when he sent her a text that read,Good morning, beautiful.
