Wapun Meadow I believed it all, every word you said

Oh shit, that’s right.

He’d been too distracted and transfixed to remember that Etienne and Odessia knew one another. Now Anselm’s name joined the mix and Cambria’s two-toned eyes cut to the other man’s face as his thoughts whirled.

After taking a moment to gather them, he said, I’ll ask her what she thinks. But there’s no reason she wouldn’t want you around, right? You didn’t do any harm…

He abruptly remembered he’d told Odessia about his feelings for Etienne and she hadn’t really reacted to that particular confession. It still struck him as a bit odd. But Odessia was odd. It was even in her name. And Cambria liked her for it, though he wondered if she would get jealous if he brought his former lover around…

…with good reason. It would be one thing if Cambria had put his feelings behind him. But as he regarded Etienne, he knew he hadn’t. He had made no declarations of love or monogamy to Odessia, but he wasn’t stupid. They were companions and coparents now.

The Dragonling’s lips twisted.
