Chapter

Seventeen

Days later, with Silas performing his duties at Rivergate, Meredith let herself into his small brick home to take care of Maggie. She was happy to do this for him, to allow him to stay with his pack for the three days of the full moon. She liked how it made her feel. Like she’d become an important part of his life. She hoped it was the beginning of something more.

“Hey, girl.” She rubbed Maggie’s floppy ears and filled the mutt’s bowls. She’d take her out back for a run when she was done eating. Maggie had a doggie door, so technically all she needed was feeding, but Meredith didn’t think it was proper to leave the dog alone so much. She’d decided to stay a few hours to play with the pup.

A rattle came from the front door, as if someone was trying the knob. She hadn’t locked it when she came in and wondered what was stopping whoever it was from entering. Unless it was someone supernatural who couldn’t get past the enchantment. Her fingers grazed the butt of the gun tucked into the small of her back. Still there. She strode across the room and opened the door.

“Soleil?” She almost didn’t recognize the blonde, her sunny glow masked by the bright day behind her.

“Excuse me? Do I know you?” Soleil smoothed the fabric of her fitted, plum-colored dress.

“Uh, no, I guess we haven’t met. I’m Silas’s partner, Meredith.” She wasn’t sure why she didn’t say she was his girlfriend. A gut feeling. A remnant of awkwardness still clung to the word, especially under Soleil’s scrutiny.

“Is Silas here? I need to ask him something before he leaves for Rivergate.”

“I’m sorry, he decided to spend the day at the mansion with his pack. I can give him a message for you.”

“If Silas isn’t here, why are you in his house?”

She smiled at Soleil, the type of smile she used on families of victims or criminals who came into the station. It was a soothing, everything-is-okay smile. But the strange clenching in her gut told her it was necessary. No explanation was owed the woman, but she offered the simplest one. “I’m helping with Maggie.”

The fae mirrored her smile, her hands folding elegantly in front of her hips. “Would you please invite me in? I believe I’ve left something important in Silas’s bedroom.”

Meredith shifted back slightly. “You left something in his bedroom? When?”

“A few nights ago. He did tell you we’ve been seeing each other? For years actually. I’ve never had any problems entering the house before, but…” Soleil flourished one hand toward the door, then used it to smooth a stray hair back into her chignon.

“Strange, I was under the impression you broke up some time ago.” Meredith’s heart quickened with unease, but she did her best to maintain a calm demeanor. Her time as a detective had taught her a person’s words were a jewel that must be examined under a microscope and from multiple angles to determine their worth.
