"Next time you're about to sleep with someone you're supposed to be friendzoning, I need you to picture my face. Disappointed. Like this."
Elara pointed at her own expression. "Burn it in your memory."
Serena pulled her knees up to her chest. "I don't know how to want someone this much and tell them no."
They were sitting in their storage room for private conversations. She was cleared to be in Drakenfell for the afternoon, and Dex wasn't in his quarters when she arrived.
She didn't even know if Dex wanted to see her. But Gods, she missed him. She stared up at the ceiling, blinking back tears.
"The attempt in friendzoning Shadowclaw. Where did the mission go wrong?"
"I woke up on top of him in his bed and was about to say it. But he said he wasn't going anywhere before I even got a word out."
"And did you try again? They will always push back Serena."
"Yes."
"Where and when?"
