Thread: I Got Issues (But You Got 'Em Too) [FxF] (Clearsight X JacksAreWild)

Amelia could practically hear Sarah's inner thoughts when the beta congratulated her on the opportunity to get published, but Amelia wasn't interested because of publications. Honestly, she had a few publications, only nobody knew about them. They weren't major accomplishments, well one was, but mostly she played minor roles. The reason nobody knew her name, was because she published under a different name, under her mother's maiden name. Why? Because in certain circles her last name had a lot of weight, and she refused to let it influence her life. It was a silent protest, like how she didn't flaunt that she came from money. Regardless, the reason she was excited was the science, and even that had its limits. Working with Violet had a price, and the more she thought about it, the more expensive that price seemed. There was plenty of exciting science out there, and while she appreciate the collaborative project, it wasn't something she had passionately created herself. She would decide in time whether or not it was a project she wanted to be involved in, not having any intentions of saying yes or no either way, not immediately. Instead, she was more worried about Sarah, her concern and calmed state making her attention shift more and more towards the nerdy, anxious beta she adored. That attention only focused when the younger wolf spoke the words 'I'll be okay' in a manner that sounded less assured and more desperate. As if she couldn't even convince herself, which meant there was no way Amelia was convinced. Worrying about me even now? Amelia chuckled, though she sighed internally when Sarah mentioned calling Bridget's parents. She felt so stupid for being jealous, even if she still was. Sarah was sweet, and she trusted her, which meant any selfishness was her own shit. Okay, make the call, but don't forget I'm a call or text away if you need me, and that my research isn't nearly as important as you. She suddenly spoke with more of the Amelia confidence she always tried to show Sarah, reassuring her. Oh, and I got your note... I love you Sarah, and you'll be hearing it a lot from now on. Bye. The last statement had been to help Sarah keep calm, but also as a statement to Violet, one she didn't think needed to be reinforced. So once she hung up, Amelia went back to reading, not even bothering to look at the other wolf. She had Sarah, she didn't need anyone else. She didn't want anyone else. --- After receiving confirmation from Sarah about her spending the night with Bridget, Amelia didn't get all depressed, though she did pout for a half-second. She chose to act, by finishing up at the lab, going to the grocery store, and then returning home to cook an exquisite meal. It wasn't fancy, but it would be tasty, and included some sparkling grape juice, an alternative to wine she chose only after considering Sarah would be nervous if she sneaked in the real stuff. She couldn't have the younger girl get nervous and in her head about something so silly when she made a romantic gesture! All she had to do once the literal picnic basket was prepared was get to the hospital and find which room Bridget was in, or where Sarah was if she was still in post-op recovery. Either way, she was determined, and every ounce of intelligence was devoted to finding her girlfriend for a romantic, homemade dinner.
