When I went downstairs in the morning, I saw that my mother was already gone. I shouldn’t be surprised, but it still made me sad. After a little while, I made breakfast and just hung around the house. Blake hadn’t come to get me, so I assumed that the announcement had been postponed. A strange feeling started at around noon. It started in my stomach as a warm, pleasant sensation, though it quickly turned to fire and spread throughout my body. At first, I thought that this must be Blake having mated with someone else, but when it started to feel pleasant again, I realized I was in heat. I ran into the bathroom and turned on the cold water. Even just me touching myself to get off clothes was making me pant and excited. I quickly got in, sitting in the cold water, hoping that it would help.
