Summary
I was picking out a violin for my daughter when I ran into my former mate, the one who rejected me seven years ago.
The clerk spotted him and walked over with a bright smile.
“Alpha Joshua, here again to choose a new violin for your Luna? She is so lucky to have a mate like you.”
Joshua looked past the clerk, staring straight at me. After a long moment, he said quietly, “Pick one for her too. Put it on my account.”
I smiled and shook my head, letting him know I had already chosen.
He ignored that completely and placed a black card in my palm.
“Your dream is to own a Stradivarius, but with your situation now, you can barely touch one. How would you ever afford it?”
“Allison, it has been seven years. Stop being mad at me.”
I drifted for a second.
The Stradivarius he mentioned? I already owned one.
And him? I had let go of him years ago.
