Chapter 9 : What's Gotten Into You, Jack?

*Matt*

It was just my luck that Reid had already headed out for the day by the time I went looking for him. His Beta told me that he’d gone off to draw, so it was anyone's guess where he’d gone or how long he would be.

I didn’t have anything else going on, so I decided to take a walk around and see if I could find him. It didn’t take long to find him, which was a testament to how well I knew him. I spotted him sitting by himself at the edge of an open field. He had his art tablet on his lap and seemed intensely focused. I could see that he was wearing the weird partial glove that he insisted kept his tablet from reacting to his skin and ruining his drawings. I loved to tease him about it, but Reid just took it in stride. It took a lot to get a rise out of him.

He looked up as I approached him and smiled in greeting. “Hey Matt.” He set his tablet on his lap. “What are you doing today?”

I smirked as I sat beside him. “Kenna.”
