"You mean that annual meeting?" All of the shifters knew about this meeting.
"Yes."
"Oh." Fenja gulped down uncomfortably.
"You will come with me." This one was a statement; he only informed her about this, not to ask whether or not she wanted to come with him. "I will send a dress for you to wear for that event."
"What if you ditch me again?"
"My gamma and beta will be there; even if I ditch you, you will be fine with them."
Fenja didn't think that was a reassurance, but she didn't bother with the explanation because it was not the real reason why she felt uneasy.
She finished her lamb chop, and as she paid for this meal, she was going to eat it to the last bite.
After they finished their dinner, Fenja kept her promise and paid for their meal; her heart was bleeding when she saw the amount on the bill, but even so, she kept it cool on the surface.
