Heron Lake Plateau It’s all business in the left-hand lane

WC:177

Naturally, Niamh was one to take almost everything personally- just as she had the very first day that she had met Colt. She’d taken great offense when he’d made fun of her after she’d fallen down the edge of the plateau and sprained her ankle, and Niamh detested having others laugh at her. He hadn’t laughed- but his sarcastic comments were taken- as he’d pointed out- personally and they’d had a rough beginning to their relationship. Over time, the whole event had become quite  funny in retrospect, though now she reflected on it and remembered that dude could be an asshole when he wanted to be. 

She rolled over briskly when he made a comment about Raven and stared at him, brow furrowed. ”She wasn’t gone, she was out looking for a packmate. So were you.” She said, and huffed. ”She was out looking for your sister, Colt, you should be grateful rather than calling her absent,” She said, and tasted how sour those words sounded after they’d left her mouth, at which point she fell silent.
