3rd Person

When Jane and Ethan arrived at Eric’s rental condo, it appeared to be empty. Jane tried to call him but his phone went directly to voicemail, so they sat down on the front steps and waited.

“Why didn’t you tell me about King Aimon?” Jane asked, tired of simply watching the minutes pass by.

When you found out who Eric was, why didn’t you say that his father had it out for you?”

Ethan grimaced, eyeing Jane warily.

“What?” She pressed, realizing he clearly didn’t want to answer her question.

“It’s nothing.” He said, attempting to brush the matter aside. “l just found it a bit… suspicious, that’s all.”

“Suspicious?” Jane repeated with a deep frown.

That he hid it?”

Ethan shook his head and winced as he explained.

“That he just happened to come into your life the way he did.”

Jane blinked. You think it was some sort of scheme?” She guessed, feeling her stomach lurch uncomfortably.

“How did you two meet in the first place?” Ethan asked, resisting the urge to touch Jane. It was a very difficult impulse to control, when they’d been happily married he rarely let her out of arms reach- keeping his hands on her at every opportunity. His wolf wanted the same now, but he didn’t think this was the time.

“It was random” Jane shared, flushing as she related the details to him. “The pups were babies, and I was walking their stroller in the park.”

If circumstances had been different, Ethan might have given her a hard time for all the lies she’d told him about the other man – particularly that they’d had an affair-but he refrained, focusing on the matter at hand. “And what, he just walked up to you and said hello?”
