That night, I went to sleep next to my mate. The other me was entirely happy and content. I was excited to wake up in the morning.
When I opened my eyes, I was in my old room and alone in my bed. It didn’t bother me in the slightest. I knew I’d be with Richard when I went to sleep that night. I got up and dressed in comfortable jeans and a cute, light green sweater set, then went to pull my duffle bag out of the closet.
I started packing up clothes that I really liked, a couple of books, and my stash of cash. Heading to the bathroom I took care of my needs, then brushed my teeth, applied a little makeup, and put my hair in a ponytail.
Quietly, I left the bathroom and went into my parents’ room. I knew they were already downstairs. It took a while to make breakfast.
