I have nothing to say to that. To be honest, I can relate. It’s always been Lyra and me, but now that she has Dominic, I’ve been feeling a little left out and alone.
“I tried to stay away from you,” he continues. “Last month, during the full moon, I had to leave town just to stop myself from claiming you.”

“The next one is coming up soon, isn’t it?” I ask, trying to remember what part of the lunar phase we’re in.
“Yeah, in a few days,” he replies.
“What are you going to do for that one?” I ask softly.
He doesn’t answer me for a long beat, and it dawns on me that he was hoping we’d be together by then. I want to tell him that I’m not going to get over his rejection so quickly, but it seems churlish to keep bringing it up. I mean, who am I trying to convince? Me, or him?
