Winter
Winter had left the windows in her room open.
She had been feeling excruciating heat since she returned from Dulya alley, the kind of heat she knew would only be appeased if she returned to the sex bar to finish what she had started. She sighed, tossing her bed sheets to the ground as she tried desperately to get some sleep. She would be leaving in two hours or less to meet with Emry and Laila.
Winter would have loved to work alone like had done for her first two missions but she knew not to question Carol or the white talon. If they thought Winter needed Emry and Laila at her side then they were right.
The door to her bedroom creaked open. Winter squeezed her eyes shut, willing her mother go away. The right side of her bed dipped as her mother took a seat.
