THE RAIN NEVER let up. All morning it pounded against the windows and roof of the office building until the sound of it vibrated through Sarah. Some primitive part of her wanted to kick off her shoes and run outside in it all the way to Henry. She knew what September rain felt like against her skin, warm and soft. Despite the boring repetition of her job, nothing could drown out the temptation of freedom beckoning from outside, or the thought that Henry would be back soon. The logic spell faded away until Sarah could barely focus on her job. I could have taken the day off! I’ll bet just being with Henry would keep me from casting!

Avery Gross set a flash drive on her desk, explaining it contained forms in need of review edits. When Sarah didn’t look away from her screen or respond, he cleared his throat.

Sarah kept one hand on the mouse, hoping to look busy enough that he’d go away. Her other hand worked back and forth over a bare patch of wooden desktop. The velvety smooth texture of that wood reminded her of the brief groping she’d given Henry in the basement yesterday.

“Sarah, are you all right?” Avery persisted.

She wanted to say yes to Dubai. She wanted to be the kind of woman who could. “I am all right. Are you?” she answered without thinking, and residual magic from the aftershock went with her words. She smiled. The cost from the morning’s spell felt harmless. It bound Avery with one message: Sarah was all right.

“I—I am all right too,” he faltered. His gaze flickered to her mouth and he swallowed. “Um, do you have lunch plans? Because Jackie Hamilton and Mercer invited me out, and I thought maybe you should come too.”

“No, Avery. Not today. I have plans.”

“If you could change your plans—I mean, it’s your boss and Human Resources, you might want to think about it.”

That’s so never going to happen. “You might want to think about what you want, not them,” she replied. Her eyes went to the clock, and her mind returned to the thought that Henry would be back in forty minutes for her.

Avery was standing too close. She felt it with every pore, and unexpectedly Henry’s presence moved through space like a vibration and she knew he’d come early, and already waited for her in the parking lot. Sitting up straight, Sarah grinned. The need to see him crackled through her and she got to her feet in one smooth move, bumping against Avery.

“Sarah.” His voice sounded gruff. “So you’re okay.”

“I’ve never been better,” she sighed, suddenly feeling magnanimous. “Or I will be once I get to the parking lot.” She smiled, not caring about the obvious innuendo in her words. What she did on her own time wasn’t Avery’s business. The Mass Power and Light parking lot suddenly seemed as romantic a destination as any beach she’d been to. Half of Sarah’s mind listened distractedly to the rain as she waited for Avery to move his hulking bulk so she could get downstairs and see Henry.
