**Archie's POV **

Something is wrong with Harper. She is trying to pretend everything is fine, but I can sense her growing anxiety. Was Dillon right? Is she nervous about bonding with us?

I want her, badly. I've dreamed about her every single night for over a year, but I can wait as long as it takes until she is ready.

Hell, if she is never ready, then I'd still be here, worshipping the ground she walks on. I am more than ready to take our relationship to the next stage and be intimate with her, but just having her in my life is eno She is enough.

Dillon waited at the table whilst I took Harper up to choose her food, and then he went to get his. Dillon casts me a worried glance when he returns to see Harper has barely touched the bowl of pasta she had cl "Don't you like it? Do you want me to get you something else?" Dillon asks.

Harper blinks her eyes, as if just returning from another place within her mind, and looks at him. "No, this is fine," she half smiles before returning to pushing the pasta around her bowl with her fork.

"You should try the cookies. They do a raspberry and white chocolate one that is to die for. Do you want me to see if they have any?" He asks.

"No, thank you. I'm pretty full already."

"How can you be full? You've not even eaten half the bowl," I ask.

"I'm just tired I guess," she shrugs, but her gaze briefly flicks towards the unbonded table before going back to her food.
