“I have randomly pigmented skin, cat’s eyes and claws, not to mention my teeth. Attraction is individual, but lovely is a community standard. You don’t have to talk sweet.” She sighed. “I used to be lovely. Pretty and golden.”
Reynaldo nodded. “We know. But you are as you are, just as we are what we are.”
Syar said, “We have seen pictures.”
“Where?”
“Jax got them from Penny’s phone, with her permission. She has many images of you.” Syar smiled. “You’re a cheerleader.”
“I was. Right now, the only thing I could lead is a lynch mob.”
Reynaldo sighed. “Your appearance is startling, but it is very easy to get used to. Even easier to appreciate.”
Syar sighed. “How long were you in a coma?”
“A few weeks. It took them that long to stabilize me. My family held the funeral two days after I was released from hospital.”
Syar asked, “Where is your ex-alpha?”
She shrugged. “No idea. He dropped off the face of the earth in the arms of an omega with more money than brains.” She looked at Syar.
“Ouch. I felt that one.”
Reynaldo hugged her. “Be gentle with him; he means well.”
“He means to get what he wants,andhe means well. The two can exist at the same time.” She sighed. “And I am always gentle with him.”
Ven was finally full, and the plate was empty. “Missus is scary. That was dead on.”
Syar chuckled. “You are always gentle with me. I am wondering how I can change that?”
Ven gave him a bland look. “Give it some time. I am sure I can rough you up with enough motivation.”
Reynaldo laughed. “And every nerve in his body just went to full attention.”
Syar’s cheeks reddened. “Shut up, Reynaldo.”
“So, what does one do here in the evenings?”
They both laughed, and she groaned. “Not that.”
Reynaldo smiled. “We go swimming.”
She paused. “I like swimming.”
They both smiled at her.
“Should Inotlike swimming?”
Syar laughed. “No, it’s good. It means you can join us for a swim this evening.”
“Why? Where are we going?”
Reynaldo smiled. “Private pool.”
“Oh. So, Syar doesn’t have any paperwork or conference call or anything?”
Syar shook his head. “No, I finished all my calls this afternoon.”
