All of us were about done eating, and I was already feeling a lot better. "Do you want more love?" Tristan asked, motioning to my nearly empty plate.
"No, I'm fine, thank you." I pushed my plate back a bit and leaned into Tristan, snuggling into his side a bit. He, Kami and Brandon were discussing new ideas for training sessions and while normally I would be inserting myself into the conversation, I left them to it this time.
I closed my eyes and focused on reaching out to Mattie. It was not nearly as focus intensive as I had expected it to be given the distance between us, *Mattie, how are you two? Almost there?*
*Aly! Yes, we're about 2 hours from the pack border and we're doing just fine.*
*Good. I miss you tons! I'm having to find ways to distract myself while you're gone so I don't worry about you.*
*Haha. Isn't that usually my role?*
*Very funny, just be safe and hurry home. Do NOT make me come after you.*
*We'll be back in a couple days, I promise.*
