The next day I arrived at work in a gloomy mood. Nathaniel had been calling me on my cell the entire way there. I couldn’t be sure if it was really him, but knowing his tricks, I refused to answer an unknown number. My morning routine, as usual, was hectic. Two middle-aged hags came in giving me hell about their work uniforms. Then we received a visit from a few beautiful fairies who were just too picky, so I sent them away.

My lunch break came unexpectedly. Quentin called offering to take me to dinner tonight, but I lied yet again, that I had to work late.

"I have an idea," Kate said after Sara left to grab some food complaining about the rain.

"Hmm, what’s your idea?"

"We should snoop around, find out what our sweet Jennifer was up to. Maybe you killed her because you knew she was planning something."

"I don’t remember what happened that night. It was a blackout," I said pushing away steamy thoughts of Nathaniel. Again.

She looked serious, but I didn't like that expression, because whenever Kate was serious that meant she had a crazy idea.

"Yes, but what if we start our own little investigation into StaffSpell?"

"No way. Fiorillo will recognise us, and besides, there is nothing to investigate. I’ve murdered someone and I'm going to burn my parents’ home if I don’t get my shit together."

"What if we get some answers? What if Jennifer was more involved with Caleb McGregor than we thought?"

I was looking at Kate feeling dejected and confused. It was true that I had no idea why Jennifer broke into my apartment, but during that petrifying fire, she confessed. She wanted to get rich and McGregor was the source. On the other hand, Kate was thinking straight, and she was much more intelligent than me.

"I would love to, but I have no idea where to start, and besides, Dad will be pissed if I compromise his investigation."

"I have an idea, but we’d have to go there tonight and take Kelsie. With her, we’ll look more believable."

I shrugged, curious but eager to know more. "Okay, although I don’t know if I should be worried. Normally you’re the one who has to pull me away from crazy ideas. Why do you want to get involved in my shitty life all of a sudden?"

"Because I know you wouldn't take another life, someone must have used illegal magic," she explained. "And I hate seeing you so anxious and worried. You haven't been yourself at all today, which means that I have to do all the work."

Kate didn't want to listen to my arguments or apologies for my lack of concentration. For a moment I wanted to tell her about my huge mistake, but I chickened out. Thankfully, Nathaniel didn't try to call me again.

The day rolled on until six in the evening. My magic was under control, but my mood was still gloomy. Waves of heat and lust kept hunting me down and I couldn't stop thinking about that mind-blowing reunion sex from the weekend.
