It had been six months since Jude and Asha had officially labeled their relationship. It had been three months since that very relationship was put through a difficult test in the form of Lucia Lovelle’s death. Asha had found herself struggling with knowing when to comfort her boyfriend and when to give him the space that he needed. She was someone that was used to living in a pack and because of that, she yearned to be around him and try to help. Those times when he needed to be alone were difficult for her, but she never took it personally.

He wasn’t a wolf and she couldn’t expect him to understand her need for closeness. In spite of everything, they had managed to remain strong and today was one of those days when they had both insisted on getting out of Phalanx for a bit. Too much time in the house wasn’t good for anyone and already the blonde was starting to get a bit stir crazy.

There was no shortage of things to do at the city park and so that was exactly where the couple was going to spend the day. Being active and having a day for themselves was likely a recipe to help pull them out of the doldrums that had settled over their heads.

Together they had walked to the park, a picnic basket in hand as they idly spoke about their days. Together they had crossed the Langles Bridge over to the Historic Oak Grove where they set out the blanket and a basket of food that was filled as much as possible. Asha stretched her legs out in front of her as she leaned back, bracing herself up on the heel of her palms. Inhaling deeply, she let her eyes close for a moment before looking over at Jude. ”I’m glad we got to do this today,” she said softly, pushing herself forward to pluck a grape from the bunch.

”Are you looking forward to classes starting again?”
