Chapter 8

Lisa had heard Verrian sing before. She knew his voice was beautiful.

Even when he was sitting in the back of her car without any musical accompaniment, he’d sounded like a rock star. Now, with the backing of a full band, the sound carried throughout the room, and his crooning voice had her just about melting in her seat.

When he stared at her like that, his eyes so intense and burning, it was as though he was singing for her alone.

As though he meant the words of love that sounded almost trite when the song was sung by anyone else.

As though he were making a declaration.

She couldn’t pull her eyes away. Couldn’t even hear the warnings that she was sure her brain was screaming.

She didn’t even care.

If they weren’t in a room full of people right now, she’d jump up on that stage and demand he make good on those promises he was singing, to kiss her forever.

As it was, she let her eyes tell him.

Hopefully he was getting the message.

The song ended, the music fading out, and for a moment, everyone was silent.

Then applause rang out, enthusiastic and loud.

That broke the spell. Lisa stared around at the crowd, who hadn’t been nearly this enthusiastic about the band’s normal singing. A few of them shot jealous stares in her direction, but most were too busy staring at their partners to even notice her.

The lead singer took the microphone back from Verrian and smiled out at the crowd. “Well, that’s a far more enthusiastic response than we usually get. Maybe we’ll have to get you back to sing again, near the end of the night, hey mate?”

Lisa couldn’t hear Verrian’s response in the enthusiastic encouragement from the crowd.

She couldn’t help smiling. Looked like she might be here all night, but she couldn’t find it in herself to mind.

Verrian nodded to the singer, then he jumped back down from the stage and walked across to her.

He had to pause every few metres as people reached out to shake his hand or give him a high five, or even just tell him how great he’d been. She did see a few women noticing him this time, but they all turned back to their own partners after only an appreciative glance.

Then he was past the last table, with nothing between him and her.

Everything else faded into the background.

All she could think of was him. How gorgeous he was, how talented, how special.

How amazing it would feel to let herself love him.

She could have this life. It was here, standing right in front of her.

Smiling at her even, with an uncertain, hopeful smile.

Except it wasn’t that simple.

It never was, was it? Hundreds of kilometres away in Mungaloo, where she’s sworn never to go again, he had a family who needed him. Not to mention an ancient enemy who wouldn’t hesitate to kill her as readily as it killed him.

And he was a dragon.

That last bit should have added to the appeal, and it did, but at the same time it also gave her pause.
