Several hours later, and just as many laughs, the second romcom ended. Eva hadn’t cared what they watched, and Oliver discovered she truly didn’t watch much TV. He’d realized her situation might require some laughter to escape from the heavier thoughts of the previous hours and days, as well as to celebrate being alive.

Perfect choice.

Oliver knew from experience that stepping back and letting the mind relax was sometimes the best way to find an answer to a problem. Of course, relaxing in a plush, theater-style recliner while watching a high definition, wall-size TV and having every snack available at the push of a button clearly helped set the mood. Keeping distractions to a minimum, his housekeeper silently brought in refreshments, even his own special drink which Eva probably assumed was red wine similar to Ravyn’s drink, not realizing that the wine only made up a small portion of the nourishing beverage. His phone silently alerted him when Ravyn and her staff reached her quarters, and then alerted him again when Delta returned from her mother’s library. No one had disturbed them, so he knew at least emergencies had been kept to a minimum.

Despite the problems they faced and the fact that they now had more questions than they’d started with, he felt content sitting with Eva and laughing together at the ups and downs of romantic movie life. Oliver caught himself several times not even watching the screen and just observing the woman in the next seat over laughing as she enjoyed the moment. It might have been easy to forget the danger she and Ravyn faced. Too soon, decisions needed to be made, and answers needed to be found. Oliver’s promise to Ravyn continually proved to be much more difficult to keep.

At the end of the second movie, Eva stood up, stretching with her arms above her head, showing a small expanse of skin between the black tank top and leggings that Delta had picked out. The witch was a walking contradiction of all black, but at the same time bubbles and unicorns.

Despite the spiked wine he’d sipped over the last hours, Oliver’s fangs threatened to burst free again as Eva unassumingly stretched back, tossing her curls back over her shoulder, exposing the blue vein running down the pale skin of her neck. Shifting uncomfortably in his seat and unable to take his eyes off her, he gripped the armrest with his free hand to remind himself to stay seated.

Unaware of Oliver’s inner turmoil, Eva asked, “Another one? You want to pick?”

At the same time, his phone buzzed next to him. Without removing his eyes from her, he answered the phone.

Listening to the chaos on the other end of the line, he knew the reprieve had only been momentary. “Call Delta and get her there immediately . . . good . . . we’re on our way now.” Hanging up, he fought the urge to crush the phone in his hand. He could sense Eva’s tension returning despite the fact that her face remained impassive.
