Last night had changed everything.

I couldn’t leave Reagan alone, and I couldn’t push her away. Not when she needed protection. Ironic that she needed saving from her own kind. After my work shift, I planned to visit the man who’d meant the world to me a few years ago but who I currently avoided at all costs—if I could get through his sons first. The eldest would probably deck me before I could explain that they needed to treat the Night Enforcer as one of their own. But, despite their feelings toward me, if I asked them to watch over Reagan, I knew they would.

At the same time, seeing her so helpless had strengthened my resolve to keep my distance. Those shifters had attacked her because of me. Because her defense of me had wounded their egotistical pride. So I would fix the wrongs, but I couldn’t get involved beyond that. I knew that if I did, something would start that couldn’t be stopped.

She and I, we were a train wreck waiting to happen. I needed to derail and journey on a different track. Preferably in the opposite direction. Because every time I saw her, my walls weakened.

I stood from the metal table in the mine’s small lunchroom. Throwing away the peels of the orange I’d eaten, I tried to formulate a plan. I knew Reagan would seek me out again—she couldn’t seem to help herself—but I wouldn’t discourage her attention with cruelty anymore. No, there must be a better way to get through to her, one that wouldn’t scar.

I had damaged her enough.

My coworkers and I were pulling on our hazmat suits when an alarm blared. “Danger. Danger. Make for the emergency room. Danger. Danger.” Red lights flashed in the room and hallway, the warning repeating over and over again. We all froze and stared at each other, uncertain what to do. No one had informed us of protocol in case of an emergency.

Was there a cave-in?

Jocelyn clacked into the room, swiftly for having to balance on four-inch heels. “Drop your gear, drop everything and come with me. Quickly now.” She clapped, the sound almost lost to the shrill alarm.

I stepped out of the suit and did as instructed, leaving the yellow puddle on the floor. Single file, we followed the mother duck into the hallway. But instead of turning left for the stairs, we turned right, toward the heart of the mines. We passed the bathrooms, and an uneasy feeling squirmed in my gut.

My mouth opened as I prepared to announce that I’d rather take my chances above ground. If my mind wasn’t half-distracted with thoughts of Reagan and what she’d said last night about needing to tell me something, I would have simply bolted for the stairs. But, I hesitated, confused and maybe a touch curious.

Jocelyn unexpectedly veered into the mysterious “for emergencies only” room we never entered. I closed my mouth as she disappeared from view, the room’s lights burning so low, darkness swallowed her. Around me, heads swiveled and eyebrows raised, but my fellow Fae followed her inside, albeit cautiously.
