I couldn’t fight my smile.
Randa and Elodie were the best. They’d tell each other everything, but they’d let me tell other people my own story. Especially when other people were my new sister-in-law and her mate.
Me
Alright, it’s a plan
Brynn sent me a gif of someone cheering, and I laughed to myself as I opened up my next text thread.
Randa
I assume you’re consumed by heat, so have fun! Text me when it’s over!
Me
Heat finally ended, we’re about to head out for some adventuring
Gotta enjoy the last few days of vacation
Randa
Was it good??
Me
Ridiculously so
Randa
YAY!
I didn’t think you’d ever let yourself fall for anyone after Gavin
Me
Oh, we’re not together like that
Randa
??
How?
What do you mean?
You guys are mates
Aren’t you?
Me
Technically, yes
But we agreed to be just ROOMmates
Randa
Tell me you’re joking
