Spending the night on tending to Dominic was a closure for this bond I think I needed. Maybe the thing he did for me wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I'm sure his rejection wasn't caused by any selfish reasons, without the pain of my wolf I see it clearly. And helping him tonight was just returning that favor I suppose. We're even now.
I went to my condo to change into fresh clothes for the day and after that went straight to the cafeteria needing a mug of strong coffee after the night in a chair.
I gathered a tray and without a word joined my friends by our usual table. Silence when I arrived was really uncomfortable, but I brushed it off and started eating my bagels like nothing ever happened.
I raised my eyes and looked around the table to find that all eyes were on me. Great.
