#Chapter 119 – Changing Course

Ethan I walk into Eric’s room without knocking, and instantly regret it. When I enter I find Eric and Linda standing a few inches apart, clearly about to kiss. Eric’s hands are on Linda’s waist, and her eyes are already closed in anticipation. If I could back out without them knowing I was ever there, I would – but it’s too late. When their lips are only inches apart, Eric turns toward the sound of the door, and the spell is broken. Both of their bodies deflate as they realize the opportunity has been lost, and Linda’s cheeks are flushed bright pink. Eric still hasn’t released her, and his wolf is glowing behind his eyes, but he watches me expectantly – almost as if demanding an explanation for my abrupt appearance. “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.” I apologize, feeling uncharacteristically sheepish, “but we need to talk.” “Is Jane okay?” Linda asks, trying to put some distance between Eric and herself, then blinking in surprise when his hands tighten on her waist.
