Cassias has been waiting for the day he finally found his Bonded, and for it to come in the form of a delinquent really wasn’t part of his plans.

It doesn’t help that you don’t seem entirely certain this is what you want. He’s happy with who you turned out to be, why aren’t you happy with him?

He tugs on a strand of your hair, trying to shift your focus to him. He tries really hard not to notice the way you scowl in his direction.

"Hey," he whispers, moving his hand to poke your cheek. "You're pretty."

You’re stuck with him now, best to make the most out of it.
