Ridley
Ridley woke long before the sun rose. One moment, she was asleep; the
next, her eyes popped open, and she was wide awake. The room was dark
and quiet except for Loki’s soft snores in the corner. Unable to sleep longer,
she tossed aside her blankets and jumped out of bed. A strange mixture of
anticipation and excitement bubbled within her chest, and she felt like she
could burst with energy. “Do you feel like a run, Loki?”
Loki stirred in his warm nest of blankets but showed no inclination to
get up. He didn’t share her early morning enthusiasm and shot her a baleful
glare.
Ridley laughed. “Oh, come on, boy. It’ll do us good to get some
exercise.”
Loki lifted his head and yawned, exposing his sharp canines. His tail
thumped the floor, but he still refused to move.
“Fine. Stay where you are,” she said with a shake of the head. “You’ll
come around soon enough.”
Ridley ignored the sleepy wolf and lit the oil lamp on her bedside table.
The tiny flame flooded the room with golden light and chased away the
shadows. Bounding across the room, she yanked open her cupboard doors
in search of a jogging outfit.
A navy blue tracksuit had her wrinkling her nose. Too depressing.
A fire engine red crop top and tights had her hesitating, but ultimately,
she decided against it. Too much.
Finally, she settled on pink and purple running shorts with a matching
tank top and jacket. The jacket would ward off the early morning chill while
the shorts showed off her legs. She added black running shoes and a
hydration belt to the outfit. The belt was new, but she found it far more
comfortable than carrying a water bottle. Pulling her hair into a tight
ponytail, she looked at Loki. “Are you coming or not?”
Loki eyed her for several seconds before he reluctantly abandoned his
warm nest. With a huge yawn, he stretched his legs and rounded his back
before loping across the room. Ruffling the thick fur around his neck,
Ridley said, “I knew you couldn’t resist.”
With a bounce in her step, she opened the door and went to the
bathroom across the hall. Once she’d finished her morning ablutions,
Ridley slipped downstairs on silent feet. She looked at the closed bedroom
doors of Jessica, Bear, and Rogue, praying that they stayed shut. The last
thing she wanted was an interrogation about her comings and goings. Her
mom and Jessica had a talent for sniffing out hidden truths, not that she had
anything to hide. I’m just going for a run like usual. Nothing special.
Even inside her own head, the words sounded ridiculous, and a blush
suffused her cheeks. Why am I acting like this? Like a smitten little girl?
“Because you are smitten, dummy,” Ridley muttered to herself. Then
she vehemently shook her head. “No, I’m not. We talked, that’s all. I’ll
probably never see him again.”
An image of Dax swam before her eyes, and her stomach lurched. Not
looking for him? Who are you kidding?
