Surprise Visit [E.D.K]
What was wrong with her? She had broken her one rule she had set for herself after a time or two of getting burned. Waking up the following morning after her tryst with the younger Anderson and immediately put the pieces together, the realization of what had happened hitting her like a hangover should have if she were human. Even though it was her apartment, she untangled herself from Tristan’s arms and slipped out as quietly and quickly as she could.
It didn’t take long for his name to pop up on her phone, but she simply turned it off, unable to explain her freak out to him at the moment. That would mean admitting her feelings for him not only to him, but to herself as well. Feelings that had developed since the first day they met and only grew stronger the more they were together, but he was everything she couldn’t afford to have an at this moment, during the biggest hunt of her hunter career.
So instead of facing reality, she set off to preoccupy herself around town. Unfortunately, it was too early and too sad to visit any of the local bars, so she resorted to multiple coffee shops and a long workout to sweat out her feelings. Soon enough, she made it through most of the day until it was about time for the sun to set and she had to figure out where she was staying the night. Not her place, in case he was still there. She was just considering her options when an old car sputtered past her, revving its engine as it turned the corner, and the perfect solution dawned on her.
That old saying, get over someone by getting with another, could just be the answer she was looking for. A couple of minutes later, she was knocking on the garage door of the mechanics business and slipping inside. “Hey there handsome,’ she greeted, walking up to her friend and wrapping her arms around his neck before kissing him.
