Faron stared at the closed door. He felt no regrets at them leaving. They’d dragged him up and made him believe he was worthless and nothing but an inconvenience. He would not miss that. Although he’d been born into that family, he’d never been a part of it. Faron knew the truth. There was nothing wrong with him. There was nothing wrong with letting your heart rule your head. If he’d not experienced that, he’d have never known Kendra and how amazing love can feel.

He sucked in a breath. He had matters of his own heart to deal with. Faron had to find Kendra and make her forgive him. His actions had been unkind, and he needed her to know how sorry he was. He would win her back, whatever it took.

Faron hurried to Kendra’s office, determined to talk to her. When he entered, disappointment hit him. She was not there.

The human, Sinead, was in the room alongside several other females Faron didn’t recognize and the spiky, dark-haired one called Ivy.

“Where is Kendra?” Faron addressed the room.

Sinead rose from her seat, but Ivy gestured for her to sit. “I’ll deal with this.” She led Faron back out into the corridor.

He scowled at Ivy. “Well, where is she? I must see her.”

“Must you now.” Ivy cocked a hip to the side and rested a hand on it. “Haven’t you done enough?”

“You have no idea what you’re talking about.” Faron looked along the corridor in the hopes of seeing Kendra.

“You’ve both had quite an impact on each other.” Ivy smiled as her gaze ran over Faron. “The speed dating events work.”

“If you say so. Where is she?”

Ivy let out a sigh. “Kendra’s not working this morning. She had a few personal things to sort out and requested the morning off.”

“Personal things? Like what?”

“As if you don’t already know.” Ivy smirked at him.

“Of course I don’t know. That’s why I’m here.” He resisted the urge to shake Ivy but only just.

“I take it you decided not to join with your Tolong mate?”

His gaze narrowed. “What do you know of that?”

“I know you messed with Kendra, and that’s a bad thing. You should never mess with any of the women at My Single Alien.”

Faron’s shoulders slumped. “I did not mean to. It was a misunderstanding.”

“You intend to put it right?”

“Yes! If I can find Kendra.”

Ivy nodded. “Good. She’s most likely in her room.”

Faron grunted and hurried away from the office.

“You be good to her,” Ivy shouted.

He planned to be. This was his chance. He would make amends for everything.

His heart raced as he returned to his room and swiftly prepared, removing his clothing, winding his dance thong around his groin, and covering his body in the ceremonial dance paint. This was his chance to show Kendra what he really felt.

He ran out of his room, his feet bare as he hurried to Kendra’s quarters. He ignored the surprised looks of others as he passed them. They weren’t important. The crucial thing was to get to Kendra and make her take him back. Make her realize he was to blame for all this confusion and he was deeply sorry.

Faron arrived at her door and took a deep breath. When his racing heart was under control, he pressed the panel outside the door to alert her he was there.

He waited a moment, but she didn’t answer. He tried several more times.

Finally, he heard sounds of movement behind the door. It opened, and his eyes widened as he took in Kendra’s appearance. Her hair was fluffy on one side and flat on the other, and her eyes were red-rimmed.
