Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1)

by Callie Hart

“I said, verbatim, ‘I go, and I try to get your brother. You help me and assist me in any way I ask you to, and you do as you’re told. You agree to this pact?’ to which you replied, ‘Yes, gods, I agree! Just get on with it!’” “But we both know what I meant! I didn’t mean that I’d go traipsing off into the unknown with you in the middle of the night!” “Unless you’re paying very close attention, what you mean to agree to and what you actually agree to are often two very different things in Fae, Little Osha. You agreed to help me and assist me in any way I asked you to, and that you’d do as you were told. You sealed that deal with blood. Now, I’m telling you to find a horse and saddle it up as quickly as you can, before my psychotic stepfather catches a whiff of what we’re up to and murders us where we stand.” “You fucking tricked me!” “No,” he said bluntly. “I taught you a valuable lesson that will serve you well for the rest of your very short human life in this realm. Always pay attention to the fine print. The devil’s in the details. Now go.”
