POV: JASMINE
Cory fit more into the future I could settle for. Even though he wasn't everything I wanted, I could settle for him. And I think I love him, too. Plus, he was now my boyfriend, wasn't he? And who knows? He could turn out to be my mate in a few days. Cory and I share a good connection… No fireworks, no wild storms, but something close to calm waters. That to count for something. So, being to him wouldn't come as a surprise to me.
I forced the butterflies in my stomach to flutter, even though it seemed like they were fast asleep or in a coma. They had to learn to flutter whenever I thought about Cory. They shouldn't be taught how to. Alaric's engagement was in two days, so the best I could do for myself would be to gradually take my mind off him and whatever these stupid feelings are that have velicinently refused to go away.
