My True Mate

Sarah’s hold is tight as I rest my head against her chest, trying to get myself under control.


She doesn’t let go of me, even when I stop shaking.


I don’t know how much time has passed but she hasn’t stopped stroking my head, trying to comfort me.


At some point, I finally mutter, “I’m okay. I’m fine.”


Her arms tighten around me, momentarily and then she let’s go. But she doesn’t move away.


I don’t meet her gaze, feeling ashamed.


I can feel that she wants to say something and a moment later, she does. But it’s not what I was expecting.


“How long has this been going on for?”


Her words are not soft but sharp and she sounds a little upset. Or maybe I’m just projecting.


I scratch my head, still not looking at her, “Don’t worry about -“


This time there is no hiding the anger in her voice and my jaw tightens, “Does it matter? It’s my problem. It’ll go away.”
