I was about to go inside when I saw Mal’s car approaching. I waited to greet him but he swooped right past me. My smile faded instantly as I followed him inside the house. “Hi. Did you not see me?”
“I saw you, I’m just busy thinking of what to wear to this meeting.” He rummaged in his closet, searching for a suit. Strangely, he never picks his suit. It was always my job.
“Oh. Are you hungry? I am going to make breakfast. What do you want?”
“Nah, I’ll grab takeout on my way to the office.” Mal kissed me on the cheek. I am a wolf and very pregnant. My sense of smell is amplified. He smelled of floral perfume. “This is a very important client, Dani.”
“Aren’t you going to ask if…” my voice trailed. I texted him but he didn't seem concerned about the spotting.
"About what?"
"N-nothing," I smiled. Picking up after him and putting the soiled clothes in the hamper. I've never seen him use it before. It was always the floor.
