An Envelope

Ashleigh swallowed as she took the envelope in her hands. She looked up at the young woman with a genuine smile.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

The young woman nodded and walked away to continue her deliveries.

Ashleigh looked down at the envelope. This could contain the report that she had been waiting for. She needed to see it now. But looking back at the door to Axel’s office, she knew he wouldn’t care. He had his mate right in front of him. So why should he be in any rush to help her find hers?

Taking a deep breath, Ashleigh walked away from the door. She could always give Axel the summary later. He was the one that was too busy to receive the report. For now, she would read it and then tell Myka, and with any luck, they would be ready to go the following day.

With renewed hope, Ashleigh hurried back toward her temporary home. But she did not expect to run into someone along the way.
