Immediately realizing what I was doing, Luna screeched, "Sophie, are you crazy?!" I ignored her, continuing to raise my numb arms and swing them down, mechanically repeating the motions until… Crack!

"But you actually read romance?" "Strictly yours." "Fine. Tropes. Take my last book—the alpha was a mechanic and the omega was high-ranking pack royalty. Total class divide. That's a trope." "Got it." "Standard fated-mates stuff. Rags to riches." Finn nodded against Val's shoulder. "Makes sense." On screen, the main character spilled his drink all over his clothes while sprinting to deliver a beverage to his demanding superior. "Hey, you could run a fake mating scenario like this movie. That's a massive trope, right? Say one of the players needs to look settled for the front office."

I had spent six months drifting across the ocean on a cargo ship, but I would send 20,000 dollars back home every month. So, I really only had one thing on my mind the day I finally set foot on solid ground again—my wife's pork rib soup. When I pushed open the front door, I found my seven-month-pregnant wife, Sophia Merkin, sitting on our worn-out sofa. At that moment, my six months' worth of exhaustion, frustration, and pent-up anger from the roiling life at sea surged to the surface.

I opened the fridge and grabbed the coldest bottle I could find. The chill bit into my palm, grounding me for a second. Amaya hovered nearby, silent. I poured the water into a glass and drank like I hadn’t had a drop in days. The coolness slid down my throat, but it did nothing to quench the fire that burned beneath my skin.

"Can I ask a practical question? If Maya goes back to January 15th, how does she survive the freeze? The whole point was she wasn't prepared then. She'd be trapped in the apocalypse with no shelter."
