By the time he came back in, she’d put together the potion ingredients, covered the pot, and set it aside to process.

“It will be ready by morning,” she told him, tired but proud of her mastery of the difficult spell. “I really need something to eat. How about you?”

“I’ll eat when Mac can,” he said, scowling out the window. “This is my fault. I should have been more prepared, instead of falling for the initiation nonsense. I’m no untested rookie.”

The meaning behind his gruff declaration struck Rose a little too hard, and her heart thumped in her chest. “You’re used to taking care of everyone, aren’t you?”

He didn’t answer, just shifted restlessly, and she realized she wasn’t the only one who was tired of being trapped in her kitchen.

“That’s it. We’re going for pizza,” she announced. “There’s nothing we can do until tomorrow, and I need food or I’ll fall over.”

“I don’t want to go for pizza,” he growled, suddenly menacing in the fading light of dusk. She hadn’t yet turned on the lights, preferring to work her potion spells in natural light, and she hadn’t realized how dark it was getting until now, when she had a real predator in her kitchen.

So she shrugged, pretending a lightheartedness she was far from feeling. “See you later, then.”

In one long stride, he was blocking her way. “You’re not leaving without me. Basilisks in your yard and crazy actors breaking into your house. No. Forget it.”

A delicious shiver ran through her at his protectiveness, but she hid her reaction to him behind a layer of cheerful defiance. “Come with me or move aside, Buster. Nobody keeps me from my pepperoni and extra cheese.”
