I read through it again, finally turning it off as the meal came. I felt helpless, and as her mate that was tearing me apart. My spot was next to her, protecting her, yet I was flying farther from her with every minute. When dinner was cleared, I sipped my beer while looking through it again, this time taking notes. Then I started to think about how I would hide her and protect her if I was able to get to her. Flipping the page, I wrote down as many ideas for places to hide with her as I could think of. I filled up three pages before I stopped. Then I went back through them, lining out all but five. I put those five on new pages, with good/bad on each side, and started breaking them down. By the time I gave up, I had no damn clue how to keep her safe, and it drove me nuts. Go somewher
