“Next time, just tell me you are overwhelmed. I could’ve stepped in for you if I thought you couldn’t do it on your own.” Relief had her shoulders relaxing on an exhale. “I did tell you! I gave you the look.” Meg activated her room’s lock and shuffled inside. “The look? What look?” “You know. The girl-code look that says, Help. I’m really uncomfortable, and I need you to come rescue me.”
come on daunet, you gotta know “the look” 👀✨
“Oh, Meg. I forgot to tell you—” Meg nearly fell out of her chair in an attempt to stop Daunet from saying what she’d crept up behind her to say. “Damn it! Don’t! I told you I’m sorry.” Daunet had plastered a confused look on her face. “Oh, I was just going to remind you that your mate had called.” Without a care in the world, her guard flounced away.
😂 what a troll
“Meg is one of the few humans I’ve met that is excited to have been taken from Earth. She knows more about Clecania than any of us. She’s studied all the cities and cultures of this planet. She learned to read your language within a few months even though she could just as easily use a translation glass. Meg is a smart, adventurous ball of light, and if your goal is to take her away and snuff out that light because she’s yours and because you can, you’re going to have a very hard road ahead.” Maxu didn’t want that.

He keeps popping up in my thoughts, but not in a positive way. It’s like the connection is there, and every so often my brain just wants to remind me that he exists and that I’m in this shitty situation. It’s like I can’t not think about him or stew about him. It isn’t fun or romantic. I don’t feel like I’ve met my soulmate. I feel like I just discovered an inoperable tumor.”
wow that’s not an upsetting comparison or anything
“What are you going to do? Stalk me around the world?” “Yes,” he answered simply.
what else is he supposed to do MEG?
Clecanians were dying out. Estimates had them reaching extinction within three generations.
good. bye y’all 👋
“Do you like me, Maxu? As a person?” The warmth that instantly lit his face had butterflies exploding in her belly. “You know I do, vahpti.”
you don’t KNOW her as a person you idiot 🤦🏻♀️
“What is going on with you?” Tara asked from her left. “Is it Maxu again? It’s like hot and cold with you two, I swear. Can you just get it together?”
go off tara!! nothing more annoying than someone who insists on shoving their drama into other people’s faces
He lifted the balled-up paper, holding it out to her. She tilted her head at it, eyeing the trash. At her confused look, Maxu explained, “I read in the directory that humans prefer gifts wrapped in paper.”
well…he tried 🤷🏻♀️
The sob she released on a breath had Maxu’s throat going dry. “The Queen is dead.”
you got me FUCKED UP.
