“Both men dropped to their knees, apologetic and awash in fear. I reached down and snatched at the ear of the stunned soldier who’d leered at me. He looked like he might pee himself at any second. “You’re coming with me. See how my mother takes to you making sex jokes about her daughter.”

“Aye. If ye trust her, I’ll go. If she steps out of line, I can handle her easy enough. Morgan’s had her fun. Time the Brotherhood stepped in.” Bastien exhaled and let out a grateful laugh. “Music to my ears, Mad. You need to pack anything?” Madigan looked around curiously, as if Bastien had suggested he scoop up a few leaves to put in his pocket for the journey. “Lead the way, brother. I’m ready.”

“The Most Hydrated Woman in Avalon I awoke to the feeling of someone staring at me. When my eyes fluttered open, I was greeted to the sight of Bastien inches from my face. “Finally!” he exhaled, filling me with his Christmasy scent. “I’ve had to pee for hours!”

“A week?! But we’re supposed to be finding the Horse to Nowhere. How can I do that if I can’t even walk? Come on, Remy! Don’t you have some magic Jiu-Jitsu you can whip out?” Remy put on a comically serious face and waved his hands over my leg as if casting a spell. Then he wiggled his fingers and pretended to zap the healing into me. “Is that about how you pictured it? You can dance now. Give it a try.”

“I couldn’t take it. Crossing the best woman in two worlds deserved a reckoning. I couldn’t remember my introverted tendencies when I gripped the guys’ arms to hobble forward. “Look, you arrogant jackfishes, if Lane says she can find the jewels, then you’d best believe she’ll deliver. She’s not a pretty little prom queen you can pat on the head and ignore. This is the best offer you’ve gotten in decades. I suggest you take your heads out of your hairy buttholes long enough to see the miracle standing right in front of you.” Crap, I said butthole already.”

“Her finality was inspiring. She was so in control, so regal. If only they could see her bumming around in her sweats with me, sticking fruit roll-ups to our noses to see whose would stay stuck the longest (mine).”

“Lane understood enough to put her foot down. “This is what I was talking about. You can’t let just anyone take that vow, Rosie. The Brownie who takes the Vow of the Guardien would be with you every day. They eat with you, live with you, sleep under the same roof.”

“Come here,” Bastien sighed. He tugged me to the side, letting the others march onward as he delved into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. He looked around, as if he didn’t want to be caught in a scandal of… owning a handkerchief. “Here.” When he shoved the damp off-white square at me, I stared at it blankly. “I thought you didn’t carry these around.” “I don’t. There will be no mention of this, and if you start blubbering again, don’t look at me to give it back to you.”

“I’m not doing that,” Bastien said, clearly uncomfortable. “Doing what?” “I don’t carry a handkerchief around for girls to cry into.” I rolled my puffy eyes. “What the flip are you talking about? I’m not the kind of girl guys do that sort of thing for.” “Good. Just so long as you know that. When we get back to Faîte, I’m promised to Reyn’s sister. I have to play that part.” “Well, I’ll just be crying myself to sleep that you’re not pining away for me.”

“Reyn got out of the car and came around to stand next to me. He didn’t say anything, but waited until I turned to face him. I gave him a baleful expression that told him I wasn’t in the mood for more of his “let’s all be friends” BS. He slowly pulled me out of my seat and wrapped his arms around me, bringing me to his chest in a hug I tried not to need. He rubbed the middle of my back, taking Hamish’s lecture that they didn’t deserve me in stride. Reyn kissed my forehead, and I knew he was trying extra hard to make things okay, to compensate for his jackweed of a friend. “It’s how he gets when something hurts him too bad for him to deal with,” Reyn whispered into my ear.”

“I jerked away when I noticed his right fist was gripping his jagged knife. “Jeez! Put that thing away.” “You said to cover you! In our world, you steal and you could lose a hand. This coffee better have some serious magic to it.” “Oh, it does.”

“Bastien tucked his hand under my cheek and lifted my head a few inches, sliding the pillow underneath, and laying my cheek back down on the fluffy haven. Then he kissed his thumb and silently pressed it between my eyebrows, rubbing out my frown where he saw it playing on my features.”
