THE MATE THE ALPHA NEVER CHOSE
Perhaps that could distract me today.
The sound of running water whispered in the background as I made my way to the bathroom, and my mind was still busy with thoughts of what happened last Sunday. The shower's warm cascades enveloped me, washing away the remnants of sleep, but failed to dispel these troubling thoughts I kept having. As steam curled and rose, filling the air with a well-welcomed warmth, I couldn't revel in this moment, one that I often looked forward to. You see, the simple pleasure of water against my skin usually went a long way in clearing my mind and readying me for the day ahead.
It didn't today.
