(ASA)
Twice during my shopping trip, I had to escape to the bathroom feeling nauseated. Stress always got to me through my stomach, so I didn't think much of it. After all, I was incredibly stressed. How could I not be? I was falling in love with an alpha who was in love with someone else. Of course, I was unable to hold down any food. It felt like a nightmare.
I'd never cared about anyone so quickly or so deeply. I assumed my falling for Zev was because of my inexperience. A more seasoned omega could have handled this bizarre situation with grace. Lukas would have handled it with grace, I thought bitterly. According to Zev, he'd handled everything with grace. Was I a huge disappointment to Zev? Did my naïveté annoy him? Burden him?
Regardless of my stomachache, I still managed to buy two big shopping bags full of new clothes. I was excited about wearing my own things. Dressing in Lukas' hand-me-downs wasn't helping me feel any less pathetic.
