Sense of Wholeness
Aubrianne had basked in the idea that she certainly was no Christen in this situation. Zayne was her soulmate, her other half making her whole.
That sense of wholeness, certainty, and completion filled her...
She had even imagined her way forward, continuing her education/internship while supporting her mate and his community.
Aubrianne realized she might need to apply for a transfer and work under someone else already thinking miles down the road.
Her heart ached at the thought of not working closely with her father. Aubrianne truly wanted to work under her father. But as she planned her future with Zayne.
She accepted that there was no future where she would not choose to have him in her life.
Nevertheless, it was finally morning, and Aubrianne had eaten breakfast, not much of it. She did not have much of an appetite. She then showered, dressed casually in jeans, a loose white t-shirt, and sneakers.
