Chapter Five â Lily
The first message from Yasmin made her phone vibrate. âYou realize youâre stuck with an incredibly hot lion dude, right? For the entire day? Girl, you better make that a day to remember.â
âI donât want to be creepy to the person who rescued me,â she texted back. âPlus, I donât want to make things weird while weâre stuck here in a locked house for at least another day. We canât get dug out until tomorrow and even then, who knows what time of the day itâll be?â God forbid another blizzard comes up.
In the group chat, Audrey then texted with, âMaybe we should make our next Valentineâs Day trip a little more low-key next year?â
Lily laughed at that, which drew Morganâs attention from the kitchen. He smiled absently in the way people did when they saw others smiling. âHowâs the contact with that sister of yours? Kerry?â
âShe finally responded after two hours.â He leaned against the kitchen counter and she couldnât help but note his profile, how muscular and well-built he was. And those eyes. Those damn eyes that looked like they could pierce through the coldest night of winter. âShe says sheâll be looking into a witch thatâs in contact with our family.â He pursed his lips then, looking tense. âBut she is worried. Theyâve been checking in with everyone from our family to make sure weâre all accounted for. But Richard â one of my older brothers â heâs not answering his phone. And his wife doesnât know where he is.â
She sensed dread and anxiety from Morgan. âYouâre worried something might have happened to him?â
âThe worst thing is we canât all check because most of us are snowed in and our ways out are extremely limited. Hopefully, all thatâs happened is he got himself drunk somewhere and is crashing at a friendâs place.â
âHeâd go out drinking on Valentineâs Day without his wife?â
âYeah, unfortunately. He tries to escape the kids a lot because theyâre noisy and annoying. All three of them.â
Wow. It sounded like he was following in the familyâs footsteps all right. She had to nod a little from that news. âDo you think heâs okay?â
âI can only hope at this point,â he said. âI have no way to know for certain if heâs actually okay. It makes me uncomfortable, knowing that you encountered something yesterday though. Something that matches the murders weâve been trying to track down.â
That made sense. She understood, of course, that heâd be nervous as hell about the matter. She tried straining her memory, trying to think if sheâd gotten a glimpse at whatever the creature was that had chased her. But her thoughts yielded nothing but snow and a spinning world and the pounding of her heart as it burned in panic. Nothing else. She hadnât seen anything else that could help Morgan with his investigation.
So, they fluttered between board games and questions. Digging into each otherâs past, trying to figure each other out. He seemed willing to ask more personal questions, which in turn made her more willing to do the same.
