Sense of Normalcy

As expected,

Riding Raven felt like… going back to elementary school and visiting the classroom that once felt so big.

"Sorry, babe,"

Raven didn't grow slower; I grew ridiculously faster. But I was celebrating the clear sky, I wondered if she'd like riding it.

I hoped so.

Riding Raven took my head off annoying stuff such as Arthur. He was on my case all noon, I ended up running back to my house earlier, which gave me a chance to clean up a bit and check on Raven before taking her out.

The vampire wanted to talk but I wasn't ready. I was still traumatized by the image of all those pictures for me all over his desk.

I needed time.

Was it the motorcycle? Or the whole king and Alpha thing?

I was leaning against Raven after parking her in front of Sophie's school. And it felt like the first school day I had in Anchorage all over again.
