"Why are you treating me like a child?" Zina hissed at Dawn when Dawn closed the door behind them.
"Didn't we agree to this?"
"I changed my mind," Zina snapped. "You know how long I was waiting for my mate." Longer than Dawn because Zina was older!
Zina didn't think much about being unmated before, but in the last few months, Zina got to see all of her friends finding their mates, Dawn included. Zina was lonely and she wondered if the Moon Goddess was punishing her for something, and now that she finally found her other half, Dawn wanted her to stay away?
"I know what you are going through," Dawn said. "But I also know that the situation is messy. Can you trust me on this, Zi?"
"You are keeping me away from my mate and I should go with it because you asked me to? What kind of logic is that?"
