Living and working here feels a like a lot.
That doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
Of course it is.
We’re here to be with Robin.
She loves it here, and I’d do anything to make that woman happy.
There’s just this part of me that can’t help wondering how this can possibly work out long term. The apartment wasn’t exactly a home, and this doesn’t feel like one, either.
We’re finally a complete pack.
We should have a real home together.
At some point. Once Robin’s ready to leave.
Sighing, I open my eyes and sit up properly.
I don’t want to pass out while I’m waiting for Falcon to come back through with sheets.
“Talk to me,” I ask Jay, needing something to keep me awake after all that fresh air and exercise.
He looks up from his phone. “I thought you fell asleep.”
“Almost,” I admit. “Not yet.”
I rub my eyes, feeling close to dozing off.
A yawn escapes me, and I know I’m not going to make it much longer.
“You seriously need to sleep,” he tells me. “Falcon knows how to function on a couple of hours. You’re going to be walking around like a zombie in the morning.”
“Don’t make me think about the morning. That’s later.”
He laughs. “You want to switch places with me?”
The thought perks me up a little.
Of course I’d rather stay here all day with Harper and Robin!
Unfortunately, I know I can’t say yes and mean it.
“I’ve already been pre-taught stuff. Falcon won’t be happy if he needs to teach someone else.”
“Too bad,” Jay says. “Don’t worry, I’ll look after our mates while you’re out working your ass off.”
“Thanks,” I mutter, shaking my head.
“You’re more than welcome.”
He’s having fun with this.
I’m glad someone is.
Falcon comes back into the room when I’m trying to stifle another yawn.
He dumps a pile of sheets and pillows on the corner of the couch, and then he closes the bedroom door gently.
