I think wolves are my favorite animals. Their pack dynamics are wildly misunderstood, but they’re fascinating.

ASingleRose26

what’s misunderstood?

BigSpoon92

Researchers used to think the males would fight for dominance and declare one wolf the alpha, but it turns out, the packs are just big families. The “alpha” is the father. No one challenges him in the way we once thought. The offspring eventually leave the pack and find a new mate to start a new pack. It’s really not as dramatic as the myths say. But the families are really tight-knit and loyal. I find it cool, I guess.

If I tell you my favorite animal is the otter because they’re adorable when they float around holding hands, are you gonna make fun of me?

BigSpoon92

haha, no, because I think they’re adorable too.

ASingleRose26

I mean, in my next life, I want to be an otter

BigSpoon92

If you’re an otter, I’m an otter.

ASingleRose26

haha :)

I laugh and check the clock. It’s already almost eleven. I’m usually in bed by ten.

ASingleRose26

Darn, it’s late. I should get to bed. I have a busy day tomorrow

BigSpoon92

Ok, no problem. Sleep well, little spoon.

Shoot, he makes me smile. I’ve gotta be careful.

“So, this place is a family affair, is it?” Nate asks me the next morning while I collect my files from my office for the day.

I eye him carefully, wondering why he feels the need to make small talk.

“I overheard some chatter about the leadership transition to you and your brothers,” he clarifies.

I tuck my paperwork under my arm. “My parents founded the company twenty years ago, yes. And now my brothers and I are inheriting the business.”
