Bab 15: Chapter 15: A Change of Plans

Selene wakes up to the smell of breakfast after a much-needed full night of sleep. She hadn’t felt Onyx move from his place next to her, but he hovers over their cooking rock with eggs baking away on its hot surface.

“Morning,” he says as Selene approaches. “I hope you like eggs, potatoes, and wild

berries.”

“It sounds wonderful,” Selene replies while planting a kiss on Onyx’s forehead. “I could have really gone for a side of sausage this morning,” she says before heading into the bushes to relieve herself.

The sound of Onyx’s hardy laughter causes her to smile. It took him long enough, she thinks while finding a good spot to pee.

Once she finishes, Selene walks over to the stream and cleans herself up. She hums while washing her face. Everything feels different today, and she can’t wait to continue on their journey. Now that she doesn’t feel like she’s leading Onyx on, she can open up and work on developing the kind of relationship she’s always dreamed of.
