"About what?" another voice says at the door, and my face bursts into a grin when I realize that it's my Mark.

"Markie!" I call, thrilled, patting the bed beside me.

Mark starts to smile at me but then looks around the room, guilt washing it away. "Rafe, I'm really sorry -"

"We're good, Mark," Rafe murmurs, nodding to our brother and jerking his chin to the spot on the bed next to me. "Don't kill yourself over it. I know you didn't do anything just to be cruel."

Mark sighs but nods and then comes over to sit with me. "But seriously, what were you talking about when I came in?"

"About whether or not you stop having feelings for previous crushes when you meet your mate," Jesse says as I lean close to Mark when he sits, wrapping him in a one-armed hug.

To my surprise, Mark goes a bit stiff beneath my arm. I frown up at him, wondering what could be off.

“Um,” Mark says, looking awkwardly down at the blanket. "Do they?"

"I'm inclined to think that they do," Mom says quietly. "It makes sense, right? You've met what is supposed to be the one person who checks all of your boxes. How could someone else live up?"

"Well, Daphne lives up," Jesse murmurs, a little angry and defensive, likewise looking down at the bed covers. "I didn't stop having feelings for her. Not at all.”

“And Midnight?” mom asks, gentle, the softness in her voice clearly indicating that he doesn't have to answer if he doesn't want to.
