It’s been getting very difficult to try to go through my day like I used to do with Tommy in the back of my mind. I’ve been trying to find some more werewolf coworkers to see what’s going on. Either they don’t want to talk to me, tell me they can’t tell me cause I’m a vampire, tell me I can’t find out because it’s a pack problem, or just change the subject. It’s really driving me up the wall. I’ve squeezed so many things into unrecognizable shapes due to trying to control my anger at being blocked at every opportunity. I just want to know if my Tommy is okay!

Wait, did I just call him my Tommy? I’ve definitely fallen deeper for him through our time together. I know that there is someone around who can tell me if he’s alright. After striking out with another werewolf coworker I returned to my office to try to focus on work and not break another pen when I saw an envelope on my desk. I closed and locked my door before opening it. Inside was a note that explained how Tommy wouldn’t be able to talk to me since I’m not his mate. I guess it must be different since we’re just dating, but if we were married I would be able to know more. Marriage is a big step even if I can live forever now. The letter continued to explain that he was alright and he would talk to me in time. I know I should be grateful to have something, even if I am questioning it, but I have to trust it since it’s the only thing I have right now since I haven’t been able to really talk to him.

I still won’t feel right, until I get a chance to see him face to face.

I hope that will be sooner rather than later.
