After hours of travel, my airship landed in Austin,
I retrieved my phone, receiving a message: I am at the landing. Where are
you?
“Just arrived.”
As I replied, I saw Jake at the terminal. He was impeccably dressed, a porce

I heard that he had remained unbonded after high school. I looked at him.”
Why did you agree to bond with me? Everyone thought I was jesting.”
He smiled.“I believed you knew why.”
“What?” I was completely bewildered.
Sighing, he didn’t answer directly.“That was not the first instance of your
impulsive actions. I understood you were serious.” Pausing at a red light, he turned to me.“And… I wished it were true. I am truly fortunate.”
What he said stunned me. Not the first time?
My mind raced, trying to comprehend his meaning. Was he referring to my relocation to Dallas for Grant? And he said he was fortunate?
My ears flushed. I stammered, “You… crave me?”

His teasing made me blush. I rolled my eyes and opened the door without
speaking. He didn’t mind, heading cheerfully towards the stairs.
The dwelling was quiet. Six years away, and I felt a touch of apprehension.
Hearing the door open, my grandfather stormed out, cane in hand. “Who is
there?! Rosie?!”
His words faltered. Seeing me, his eyes welled up, and then he retreated to
his room.
I rushed in, embracing him as he reached the bed.“Grandpa, I missed you…”

He didn’t believe me. The last time he’d seen me was when I left for college,
and he’d waited for six years. He knew I was returning, but not the exact day,
It was Jake who informed him of my arrival.
The long absence had given him the impression that I’d forgotten him.“Were

He shook his head.“Do not speak idly. All I desire is for you to have a blissful union. As long as you are content, I can rest in peace.”
