It had been a week, five days, and twelve hours since she crawled into the taxi outside Kanyon’s house. She looked at the digital clock and watched as the minutes changed from nineteen to twenty. And twenty minutes. Not that she was counting. She was sitting at her desk trying to proof read a report she had written, but the words blurred together and she gave up. What would it hurt if she just called to check on Kanyon? Make sure she was doing okay and see if her injuries healed up; just an innocent check in and nothing more? She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. It didn’t have to lead to the whole Guardian soul mate thing, just a casual “I wanted to see if you were doing okay? I’m thinking about you.” Thinking about you standing in front of me, thinking about looking into your eyes, thinking about you holding me … She trembled with desire. Okay, not a good idea. She put her phone back into her pocket.

“You should call her,” her aunt suggested from the doorway.

Daylen dropped her forehead to the desk. “I can’t.”

Ruby moved to sit on the corner of Daylen’s desk. “Why? Did you suddenly become deaf, mute, or are your hands paralyzed? No, that can’t be it since you heard me, spoke to me, and by the little rude finger gesture you’re giving me right now, I know you still have the use of at least your middle finger.”

Daylen dropped the rude finger gesture back on the desk. “Aunt Ruby, you don’t understand. I just can’t.”

“I understand you’re hurting right now, I understand this has to do with your feelings for Kanyon, and I understand you’ve been moping around for two weeks.”

“One week, five days, twelve hours, and …” she raised her head to look at the clock, “twenty-one minutes.” She whimpered then dropped her head back down on her desk.

“I understand you’re being a hardheaded dodo bird. I understand it’s Friday night and you’re sitting here with your aunt instead of being with your–”

“Stop.” Daylen lifted her head. “Don’t even say it.”

“Why?”

“Because.”

“Daylen, avoiding it doesn’t make it untrue. Kanyon is your Guardian and your soul mate. You need to let her into your life and begin accepting and enjoying your fate.” She added a little suggestive eyebrow wiggle.

“Please don’t ever do that again.” Daylen gave her a hardened stare, but didn’t have the energy to sustain it. “Aunt Ruby, I can’t let her in my life. She was hurt when I let her into this world, not to mention the damage the media did. I refuse to let that happen again.” Flashes of Kanyon being struck to the ground and then kicked fueled her defenses again. “No one asked me about this whole Guardian thing. I didn’t ask for a Guardian, I don’t need a Guardian, and I won’t let Kanyon be my Guardian. I can handle this whole fated Seeker gig. I’m fine by myself.”

“Daylen,” Ruby said, reaching out to her niece.
