Evence set her feet back down to the ground, pushing up to stand from her desk. Tossing the small pile of papers back on to the desk as she headed for the door. Grabbing her coat, she switched off the light in her office and headed for the door. Jackson always left by mid-day, but Evence her self had far too much paper work to do, so was often finding herself staying late these days. Stepping out of the office back into the deep snow, she headed for the Pack House. It was one of the few buildings lit up so brightly this late at night.<br/><br/>The pack often loved staying out late, but they all knew that they would regret it in the morning. Pulling open the heavy oak door, she called over her beta. "Boa. I need you to put together a late night patrol. You will lead it, if you meet anyone at the border, bring them back here. I grow tired of this and they will take back a message for me. Come knock on my door when you return. And make sure everyone is safely in their beds before 12. We all know they'll regret it by morning," she ordered, then turned on her heel and walked back out the door.<br/><br/>Shifting into her wolf form, she shook out her fur before bounding across camp. Her house was the building towards the entrance of the camp, the closest one to the outside border. She had made it that way so she could protect her new family. Once again shifting back into her human form, Evence jumped up onto the second story ledge of her home. Swinging herself up onto her balcony with ease before walking into her bedroom through her balcony doors. Flopping onto her back on the bed, she stretched out and sighed happily.<br/><br/>Then her mind began to wonder. Evence thought about Merek for the first time today. Curiosity got the better of her and she took out her sketch pad, drawing smooth, clean lines of a very familiar man. Merek's features began to take form, his eyes beginning to light up with the usual light they used to hold; from what she remembered anyway. Did he ever wonder about her? Besides the few times he actually tried to weasel his way back into her life. Evence was determined to keep him at a distance, he didn't need to know what went on in her life. And she definitely didn't want to fall back in love with him only for him to shatter her heart again.<br/><br/>Pulling off her shoes, and hiding her sketchbook, overflowing with sketches of the King, underneath her pillow. Settling down to wait for Boa's knock. The wind blew into her room softly, blowing her snow white curtains out into the cold. Secretly, Evence kept her balcony doors open every night, somehow hoping that Merek would pay her another visit. Just so she could see him again.
