"She definitely does." He knows that Gwen cares about the girls almost as much as he does -- not that it's a competition, Owen's bond with them just happens to be a little different. And of course she likes the boys as well, even if Omega does make her nervous. Absolutely no one could blame her there.

All of this, though, everything Blue is saying now, this is all more introspective and peaceful than she's been in... ages, perhaps, even longer than the last month. He knows she was very pleased when he started dating Gwen, and expressed her approval within the same dynamic of Alpha and Beta that they've always had, but it wasn't like this. Owen nearly pulls the truck over to the side of the road just to hug her.

"I think so, too." He glances at Omega in the back seat, and then over at Blue again. "Sometimes the waiting is important, to make sure it happens the right way."
