Light shone from the long front windows of the Greek Revival house Phoebe shared with Willow and Talisen. Dax pulled his Trooper to a stop out front and blew out a long breath. How was he going to tell Phoebe’s best friend that he suspected Phoebe was the witch he was looking for?

The front door opened, and Willow poked her head out. “Dax? Is that you?”

It was time to face the music. He hauled himself out of the vehicle and gave her a small wave.

“Any news?”

He nodded, and when he reached her he frowned. “It’s not good news.”

“Oh goddess,” Willow said, pressing her hand to her throat. “Is she… all right? Tell me she’s all right, Dax.”

“She’s not hurt, as far as I know anyway.” The physical pain in his chest made it difficult to breathe. “Listen, can I come in? We need to talk.”

“Of course.” She stepped back and opened the door wide for him. Her wolf, Link, was in his cute shih tzu form and came running up, yapping away.

“It’s me, Link,” Dax said, kneeling down to pet the gold-and-white pup. He wiggled his body, excitement taking over as he jumped up on Dax, giving him a big wet kiss on the cheek.

“He’s happy to see you,” Willow said with a smile.

At least someone is, he thought. He patted Link on the head and stood, jamming his hands in his pockets. “I saw Phoebe today.”

“That’s good,” she said but sounded cautious. “Where has she been?”

“At one of her safe houses.”

Footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Dax glanced up, finding Willow’s husband Talisen.

“Dax, hey man. Good to see you.”

“You too,” Dax said with a nod and watched as he kissed Willow on the cheek. The pair just radiated love. Both of them practically glowed when they gazed at each other, and Dax felt a sudden pang of jealousy he’d never experienced before. Where the hell had that come from? He chided himself, but he already knew. He wanted that with Phoebe, had secretly thought they were on that path, but now… He shook his head.

“What’s wrong, Dax?” Willow asked, her blue eyes full of concern. “You look like you’re ready to come right out of your skin.”

He felt like it too. “Sorry. It’s been a long day.”

“Let’s go upstairs to the kitchen. I think I’ve got just the thing you need.” She crooked a finger, beckoning both men to follow her.

“After you,” Talisen said.

Dax’s limbs were heavy as he hauled himself up to the second floor. This wasn’t the conversation he wanted to be having. All he wanted was his partner back, the sane, kick-ass woman who didn’t take shit from anyone but had a heart of gold. The one he’d been with earlier in the day had been a stranger.

“We had a visitor today,” Willow said as she pulled three bottles out of her refrigerator and placed them on the table.

Dax took a seat and raised an eyebrow. “Was Phoebe here?”

“No, unfortunately.” She walked back into the kitchen and opened her cookie jar.
