Good luck with that

I’ll tell them we’re in
They’re probably going to take it more seriously than we do, so don’t feel weird about it if they say something
Maya sent me a gif of someone saluting, and I snorted.
The rest of the guys in the truck looked at me.
Maybe I reallycouldcharm her eventually.
I would survive if I couldn’t, but damn, I could see the appeal.

MAYA
Everyone else acted surprisinglynormal at the restaurant. Ethan was extremely good at putting people at ease, I learned, as he led the conversation on and off during dinner.
Our arms touched the whole time we were together, easing the slight discomfort that had returned in the time we were apart.
The food was decent, and the company was good. By the time we left, I was actually disappointed that I’d be going home alone.
That was life, though.
I’d driven separately, so I said goodbye to everyone at the front of the restaurant and headed out to my car on my own.
“Wait up,” Ethan called out, jogging over to me.
“What are you doing?” I asked as we reached my car together.
“Catching a ride with you. The rest of them snuggle all the time.” He shivered dramatically, as if he was horrified by that.
I lifted a brow, though my eyes were still concealed by the sunglasses we’d both been wearing since before we met up. “I don’t live anywhere near your pack’s land, remember?”
“Yeah, I was just going to have you drop me off on the dirt road. My wolf can get me home.”
“You think you can shift, and your wolfwon’tinsist on staying with me?” I asked skeptically.
“Probably?”
“Ethan.”
“Maya.”
“You’ve been nesting for how long?” I pressed.
“If you’re talking about the snacks, I’m not convinced that’s nesting.”
“Okay, you’ve been stockpiling snacks for how long?”
“A few years.”
