Alyssa couldn't focus on work with Ace's presence in the house. The way the scent of him surrounded her, drowning in her senses, the pressure of her responsibilities became too overwhelming and suffocated her every breath. She knew she needed a leave. Seeking solace from the pressure, She summoned courage and asked the Alpha for a two-day leave. To her surprise, he granted her request without hesitation.
She packed a bit of the stuff she'd be needing for two days and arranged the content in a small bag. She stood in front of the mirror and hesitated on whether to leave the blindfold on or remove it. Her mind wandered to Ace again; she couldn't control it. No matter how hard she tried not to think about him, whenever she remembered they were in the same house and she would always see him every day, she thought about him.
