I wake to Simone's thoughts entering my head, a soft, sweet voice that is innocent and strong. 'We're mates…We did it…Now I can talk to him whenever I want.' These make me smile into my pillow and want to pull her over for a kiss. But her next thought is, 'I wonder when I'll have a Luna Ceremony.'
The bed shifts and I feel her get off and the bathroom door close. And I have the perfect idea for her birthday tomorrow. 'Thrain? Corey?'
They respond immediately. 'Yes sir?'
'Tomorrow, spend the day setting up for the Luna Ceremony. I will take Simone out into town, so make sure everything is ready by sunset. Oh, and don't forget to make a cake.'
'A cake?' Corey asked.
'Preferably chocolate. She likes it.'
'It'll be done,' Thrain said.
I sit up in time to see my mate step out of the bathroom and glance at me, only to continue staring, entranced. "How do you feel this morning?" I ask.
