Her excitement was misplaced, since we wouldn’t be sealing the bond, but I couldn’t exactly say that.

Me

Thanks!

Jasper wants me to redecorate our living space and told me you’re the person to go to

Brynn

YES!

I’ll need pictures of Mate Mountain as payment, though. My brothers have never showed me anything

I sent the pictures over, making sure to include the picture of our landing pad. I decided to think of it as a big balcony, to avoid considering the fact that Jasper would want me to fly with him again at some point.

Brynn

Hot damn, that’s a view

Me

Right? I think I want to work out there. We need some really cozy chairs or something

Brynn

We can make this place gorgeous!

Send me pics of the style you like, and I’ll make it happen! I’d let you pick everything yourself, but it would be difficult from all the way in the mountains

Me

Hahaha yeah

Give me a few minutes

She sent a thumbs-up, and I scrolled through Pinterest for a bit until I had a dozen pictures for her. Jasper got out of the shower and started making food again while I did—I was pretty sure he was making more pancakes.

As much as I liked pancakes, I was really hoping he had another recipe or two somewhere. Otherwise, I was going to have to ask Vi for a few of her easiest recipes.

Which would mean talking to her.

And hearing her freak out about the mate situation.

Considering I was still freaking out myself, I wasn’t looking forward to that.

So I’d put it off a bit longer.

I sent the pictures over to Brynn.

Brynn

Ohhh I love these

We can totally do something like this

Give me an hour to talk to my favorite furniture store

I’ll call Jas and get some dragons out here to pick everything up ASAP afterward!
