When the twins were satisfied that I was alright, they walked with me to their mother’s office before heading to our room to get cleaned up. I kissed them both goodbye, feeling melancholy as they disappeared down the hall.
I knocked on Nicole’s door, but there was no response. I tried one more time and was still met with silence. I pulled out my phone and decided to check on Pip this morning. I hoped she was okay after everything that happened yesterday. From what I read so far about mate bonds and rejection, it was physically and emotionally painful. When I asked the twins if we should check on her, they assured me that Ryker took her home and we should give her time.
I dialed her number, and she picked up after a few rings. “Hey Rem!” she said in a far cheerier voice than I expected.
