Chapter 5: Malin

Overwhelmed. That’s how I feel. Completely and totally overwhelmed.

I don’t know how Emlyn does it. I’ve been listening to her all morning, watching while she makes the job of Luna look easy. How does she know how Rich, Emerson, and Cohen like their sandwiches? Even I didn't know that my mate prefers speared pickles on the side to pickle chips on his sandwich. How did she know?

And it’s like it’s an afterthought for her, like ‘oh yes, don’t forget…’

Don’t forget?? You have to know something first before you can forget it!

By the time Cohen’s meeting is done, I’m wondering if he is going to change his mind about me being his acting Luna. If I were him, I would try to keep Emlyn.

“You’re going to be great,” Emlyn says as she walks out of the kitchen. She puts her hand on my shoulder and I’m not sure what she sees on my face, but she stops and pulls me into a hug.

“I promise. It’s not easy, especially when you haven’t done it before. But once you find your way, it will get easier.”
