I had gone out for a girls' day out with my sisters. The invitation came so suddenly in the morning that I feared that something was wrong, but we ended up just going to the mall, which I had never been to, and bought lots of new things.
Most of my sisters who were married and mated lived off the compound and knew what I would need the most if I was going to stay in Colorado City with Cedar. I was so happy that my family was so supportive and accepting of my mate.
When I got home I was surprised to see that Cedar was looking nervous and giddy. The sight of him made me smile though because despite the range of emotions he was showing, there was clear happiness shining in his eyes.
"Hey." I ran up to him so that I could kiss his cheek, my bags all but forgotten in my hurry. While I was running at him Cedar had grabbed my waist and brought me closer to him, hugging me tight and spinning us in a few circles.
