The opportunity I was looking for came a few days later.
Rowan would be leaving to visit another pack in his territory. Something about confirming trade agreements and settling a minor dispute that required his personal attention. He had also promised some wolves would be arriving to check on situations from different territories in regards to the issue with them searching for me.
And he would be gone for several days.
Several days without him being near enough to sense me through the bond. Several days head start before he realized I was gone.
It was the window I had been waiting for.
In the days leading up to his departure, we had both acted as though nothing had happened at the observatory. As though he hadn't kissed my hand with all that unspoken love in his eyes, and as if I hadn't seen it and fled like a frightened rabbit.
I couldn't bring myself to discuss it.
And neither did he.
