Elaine walked up to the door, pushing it open. She’d called on her way here, and there had been an

opening. She’d done research in the past about this place. The artist here was good. And she was anxious

to get started.

She knew there was usually a whole process of getting a design but she wanted it done today. Something small. Something…meaningful.

Something to think about that was etched on her skin that wasn’t the mate mark.

The man behind the counter looked up as she walked in. “You must be Elaine.”

“I am. Dmitri, right?”

“One in the same,” he replied. “So, tell me a little about what you’re looking for. You have a design in

mind?”

He reached beneath the counter to pull out an art book.

Elaine glanced down, turning a few pages. “Well, I did. Something to maybe cover up another mark.”

“Tattoo? Scar?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Something more like…”

She reached up and pulled her hair to the side, revealing the mate mark on the side of her neck. Dmitri looked over it, understanding dawning in his eyes. He nodded.

“I can do that. You looking for a colored piece?” he asked, flipping to a section in the book with large, beautifully colored flowers and paw prints.

There were birds and other animals the more pages she turned but nothing that really stuck out to her.

“Something custom?” he asked when he noticed she didn’t seem to love any of these.

Elaine nodded. “Yeah.”

“Alright. Tell me a bit about what you’re after.”

“Freedom,” Elaine said, then hesitated. “Choosing my own path for once. Something that might represent

that.”

He nodded thoughtfully, then pulled out a sketchpad, quickly drawing something up. Elaine sat patiently, trying to peer over the edge of the pad every now and then. He drew up several different designs.

“We can work with any of these, but these are just to give an idea.”
