Chapter Ten

The next morning, after breakfast, a delicious egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes concocted by Jamie, she pulled me aside and said, “Can I show you something?”

“Of course,” I told her.

“I don’t want anyone else to see,” she whispered, peering around.

“Alexi, I’m going to step into the kitchen with Jamie for a minute,” I said.

He looked rather concerned, but nodded his reluctant approval.

I followed Jamie into the kitchen where she held a small glass flask in her hand. She said, “Watch this.” She knocked the flask back and took a large swig, swallowing the amber liquid. Moments later, her hair turned the same color as the liquid.

“Wow!” I gasped. “You made this?”

“It’s not much, but it worked, and I’m not dead,” she told me.

She picked up another potion that was hazy and translucent, nearly clear, but foggy. She drank this, and her hair immediately reverted to her original color right before my eyes.

“Now that’s impressive,” I gushed.

“I’m making progress,” she said. “I’m a long way away from making Wolf’s Bane, though.”

“You’re doing wonderfully!” I told her, giving her an encouraging embrace.

“Thanks,” she said, a hint of pink coloring her cheeks.

“I’m really glad to see you making so much progress,” I told her. “Look how far you’ve come in just one day!”

“I’m surprised myself,” she said. “I never thought I would have any useful talents.”

“Are you kidding me?” I corrected her. “The way you memorized that exorcism before? The way you picked up cooking so quickly? You’re a gem, and my brother is crazy lucky to have you.”

She flushed again and said, “I’m lucky to have him, too.”

“I don’t know about that,” I teased her. “I’ve known him longer than you and he can be a real butthead.”

Jamie giggle and said, “Maybe so, but he makes me happy.”

I smiled and hugged her again and I told her, “You make him happy, too.”

“Please don’t tell anyone about my progress,” she said. “I want it to be a surprise, and I don’t want Will worrying about me.”

“Alright, I won’t tell a soul,” I promised. “Not even Alexi.”

“Thanks,” she breathed with relief.

Jamie and I left the kitchen and Alexi looked relieved to see me. He still couldn’t stand any degree of separation between himself and me, unless I was being guarded closely by his brother.

“What was that about?” Alexi asked, tilting his head like a puppy.

“Just girl stuff,” I said, winking at Jamie. “Have you made any more calls this morning?”

“I have been with you all morning,” he said. “When would I have…”

“Alexi,” I interrupted him. “It wasn’t a question. It was a hint.”

“Ah, I see,” he said. “When Liam makes his way downstairs, I will attend to that immediately.”

“I can go find him if you want,” Jamie offered.

“Would you? I actually have some stuff I need to do today, too,” I told Jamie.

“Yeah, I’ll check his room first,” she said. “Maybe he’s still asleep and I can lure him out with the promise of a great breakfast.”

“You’re a peach,” I told her.
