Angel and I decided to make the evening a special one, given we were headed into what could very well be a shitstorm. She made clam chowder and biscuits for dinner, while I played with Mr. Rumblebutt. I called Joffrey and asked him if he could also pick up our mail for the next few days. I also made sure that Angel had told him the arsonist had been caught, so he shouldn’t worry about Ray coming back after him. I liked putting people’s minds at ease when I could. Next, I put in a call to Raven.

“We’re headed to Annwn for a few days. I’m not sure when we’ll be back, but I wanted to let you know.” After a beat, I added, “I think it’s a dangerous mission. If something happens, Ronnie Archwood is watching over Mr. Rumblebutt. I doubt if both Angel and I will…” I wasn’t sure how to say it, so I paused, running through the options in my head.

“It’s not likely that both you and Angel will be hurt, but on the off-chance you are, I’ll make sure Mr. Rumblebutt’s okay. I promise.” She forced a smile into her voice—I could tell—and said, “Whatever you’re facing, I hope you make it through with as few bumps and bruises as possible. Good luck.”

As I hung up, Angel called me to dinner. As we ate, I told her what Raven had said.

“In no way do I think that you’re in danger,” I said. “But it occurred to me that you can never tell what’s going to happen. If something happens to me, I know that you’ll take care of Mr. Rumblebutt. But if by some chance something happens to both of us, I don’t have a backup. Raven seems as good as any, and I know she takes good care of her ferrets and Raj.”

Angel nodded. “You know, I was thinking. I should make a will and grant custody of DJ over to Cooper, should anything happen to me. I’ll take care of it when we get back.”

After dinner—which was wonderful—we curled up on the sofa and caught up on several episodes of The Underhill Staff, a period drama that we had fallen into watching. It was in the same vein as Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey, only it was set in a Fae household, with shifters being the staff.

Finally, it was nearing midnight.

“I guess we can’t put off the inevitable. Let’s go to sleep.” I stood and stretched, then gathered up Mr. Rumblebutt to carry him upstairs.

“I’m actually looking forward to seeing Annwn,” Angel said. “But I’m nervous, because of the premonition I had. I wish we were going on a vacation instead.”

I let out a sigh, then gave her a reassuring smile. “Tell you what. When we get back—and let’s just assume we are coming back—we’ll go on a vacation to Annwn. Just for fun. I’ll ask Herne to take us to all the pretty sites there. How about that?”

Angel nodded. “Sounds good. I’m going to take you up on that.
