Chapter Sixteen

THEY STAYED UNTIL Soren took a book from in front of her face and pointed out that the sun was starting to set and she’d probably want to change and maybe brush her hair before they went out.

Briar wanted to take half the books in Agatha’s library but in the end it was enough to know something had shifted. She was one of the most powerful witches and she had gotten to see one of the most extensive personal book collections of a fae. She wouldn’t let it end in chaos like so many other times had, when things appeared to be getting better and ended so terribly. She wasn’t sure how she would stop it but she would.

Even if no one was telling her the whole story.

As they headed toward the hotel Soren was quiet. Briar had so many things she wanted to ask him, especially about how angry he had gotten earlier, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. It would only end in a fight and they were stuck in Ourst together.

But she couldn’t leave things like they were, so she grabbed his wrist as they exited the taxi. “Everything has been so strange, Soren. We’re still in this together, right?”

Something flashed in his silver eyes but then he smiled and it was gone. “Of course. I’m sure we’ll have even bigger fights eventually.” He put his hand on top of hers. “I know you have doubts, more than me, but it’s all going to be amazing in the end. You’ll see.”

Briar nodded as Soren dropped his hand from hers. “Of course.” She turned toward the door and the Goddess was beside her. “Let’s just have some fun tonight.” Soren grinned and even Eliana seemed to agree. They’d earned a night off.

“You’re late!” Fauna yelled as they opened the door to the suite.

“Visiting Marsh was the actual purpose of the trip, asshole.” Briar sat on the couch and pulled her shoes off.

“Whatever. Just get ready. I want to do something. All that shopping made me thirsty.”

Briar rolled her eyes and stood up. She did need to get dressed if they were going to get dinner before they went anywhere, and she definitely needed dinner before she made an attempt at keeping up with a newly single Fauna.

She pulled her jacket off and Soren made a low whistle. Briar turned and her heart and stomach competed for who could jump the highest. Lillia blushed from the doorway.

“You look hot, girl!” Soren high-fived her and she laughed.

She did look hot. She had on more makeup than she usually wore, smoky eyes and a red lip, and her curly hair was let loose, framing her face. Dangling diamond earrings peeked out from her hair, brushing against her long neck.

She must have bought the dress in Ourst; Briar would have noticed her packing it. The fabric was pure white, and tight enough to show every curve. Really there wasn’t much dress at all; most of the middle consisted of only a series of intricate straps.
