Chapter 18
18- Waiting and watching
Bellamy’s mood seems to have improved. Every now and then I glance up at him and every time he smiles at me. It’s actually almost scary. We finish eating then Bellamy pays for the food and leave to walk to his car which he claims is only a few streets away. His mood is still bright, in fact he might even be more cheerful than he was while we were eating.

I think back to what Megan said about Shifters feeling generous towards their mates. I suppose there isn’t a lot I can do to change that, but I promise myself I will try not to take advantage of it.

he won’t feel the pressure. I’ll just ignore it as best as I can. The problem is that the longer I leave it the harder it is going to be to tell the truth. This is so frustrating. We reach the car and Bellamy opens the passenger door for me. Once we are in, he starts the car and drives back towards the Shifter compound where Tristan is apparently going to be collecting Megan for their dinner date. Bellamy parks the car out the front of the compound and kills the lights as we sit and wait for Tristan to arrive. After a few minutes of waiting I notice a black thread

Then sure, they might get together, but they would probably not be honest with each other, they would treat each other how they think they should and would probably not be their genuine selves which would result in trouble which they would then have to resolve later.
