Wanted: A Roommate Who Isn't Evil (High Court of the Coffee Bean, #3)

“You don’t necessarily need to be left here. I’ll take whatever’s in this cart when I leave, North Fairy.” He nodded down to the basket on wheels. “Feel free to hop in.” Luc’s wicked smile broadened, and Dranian glared. “I will not climb into this silver basket before all these watching humans,” he stated. Luc shrugged. “Suit yourself then.” He leaned forward and took hold of both sides, ready to slip away with it. Dranian’s eyes widened. He grabbed the basket to keep it with him in the market, and the fairies locked eyes, tension and magic blurring the space between them. Dranian tugged a little. Luc tugged back, squinting his gaze in concentration—a common trait of a Shadow about to vanish. All the resistance dropped from Dranian’s grip as he realized he was going to get left behind. His new shoes squeaked against the tile floor as he leapt into the cart at the last second and gripped both sides for dear life. Luc’s roaring laughter filled the market. The fox pushed the cart with Dranian inside and pointed to a human mother with her round-cheeked childling sitting at the basket’s front. “Look, North Fairy. We’re like them. You’re just like that childling over there, only you’re five times its size. How funny.”

Just imagining a grown man jumping in a cart lol
