#Chapter98
Preparation
/"Has Leyanne said how much longer she needs?/" I pull us back to our topic in hand, walking to her and kneeling down to meet her face and Meadow deflates completely.
/"She's ready to go whenever we are. She's as ready as she can be, and they're just going over the same things until we say it's happening./" That downward shuffle of her eyes tells me this is a confession of sorts. I eye her up and know with that admission that Meadow is the one who has delayed things. Knowing she didn't want me to be a part of this, she's made sure I thought there was still time to change the plan. Maybe she was holding out for the vampires to pull back and for the high lord to intervene… either way, I can tell she's kept this close to her chest, so I won't push us to just do it.
This girl! Protecting me even by delaying reunion with her own mate. I can't be mad at her for that.
