SERAPHINA'S POV
With Maya blissfully preoccupied with dating—basking in her new-mate glow—I found myself alone after training for the first time in a while.
She'd practically purred her way through sparring today, leaving me stretched out and sore in the best way, but also... empty.
It was silly, maybe, since we'd only just recently become friends, but I missed hanging out with her.
She'd ended our session early, so instead of going home right away, I decided to do a little shopping. Without Daniel's ravenous appetite to feed, I hadn't needed to restock until now.
When I was done at the Farmer's market, I headed over to the mall. I missed my baby so much, and since I couldn't be with him physically, I wanted to do some shopping so I could send him gifts.
As soon as I started picking things out, I couldn't stop. I bought books, puzzles, art supplies, clothes, and shoes. I pushed my overflowing cart, shaking my head as I left the mall.
