The moment the door closed, Kai pushed the blankets away from her face and stared at the ceiling. She let out a heavy sigh. She'd meant everything she'd said; he wasn't too old for a mate and there was someone out there who would put up with whatever was thrown his way. But was she stupid to think she could be that for him? Incredibly stupid.<br/><br/>Groaning loudly, she got off the mattress and went to the kitchen. Rummaging through the cabinets, she found some instant coffee. Not her first choice, but it would do. Filling a pot with cold water, she mixed in a generous amount before taking it and two cups back to the fireplace. She wasn't about to risk blowing the cabin up just to try and get the stove lit. Poker in hand, she moved a few embers and a big chunk of wood off to the side, surrounding the pot.<br/><br/>Sitting on the floor, she watched the pot, letting the fire warm her. It was dumb for her to think something would ever happen between her and Warren. Maybe it was the hopeless romantic in her.
