We landed, panting, on textured carpet. My ears rang with snarls and laughter. I knew, in my rational mind, they were nowhere near now. "They were waiting for us," I said, still crouched in a defensive position. Perhaps if I made myself very small, no one could possibly see me. They sure couldn't with Evan bent over me. "Someone told them."

"Someone was watching, or they left magic to alert them if anyone entered. Somehow, when we shimmered into your house, we must have activated it. They must have planned for that. Here—" Evan released me from his arms and took one hand, pulling me up with him as he stood upright. Forcing my eyes to focus, I blinked and looked around. We were in his room again, as if we'd never left the calm and quiet. Except now, along with a ringing in my ears, I had a small, but very important, book.

"We have the book," I said, pulling it from my pocket, grateful I hadn't dropped it in the rush to escape. "Could they have known it was there?"

"I doubt it. I'm guessing they were waiting for you, expecting you to return at some point. After all, it's your home."

"As long as it's still standing." I heaved a sigh, wondering if my house was now a conflagration of flames. "Anyway, I'm starting to wonder what home is. I always thought it was a place of my own, but maybe I got it wrong. Maybe home is—" I threw my hands in the air, gesturing wildly. "Maybe home is all this. Maybe it's wherever I feel I belong. How do I know?"

"You get to decide," said Evan.

"Shouldn't it be a feeling?"

"A feeling can come after a decision. Or a decision can come after a feeling. Does it really matter if you end up with what you want?"

"I guess not."

"We need to tell Étoile about this."

"About decision making?"

"No," Evan laughed and the air around us lightened, making it easier to breathe. "No, we need to tell her about the ambush. She'll want to know."

"Fine," I agreed, following him to the door. I stepped out before him, the book wedged in my arms, and waited for him to pull the door shut and activate the lock.

"Thank you for coming with me," I said as he turned around. I stood on tiptoes to kiss Evan's cheek, ever appreciative for his quick thinking. "I don't know what I would have done without you there. I can't believe I opened the door. I can't believe I froze. If you weren't there..."

I expected him to say something practical about training for ambushes, and focusing harder, but instead, Evan caught the back of my head just as I was pulling away and drew me back to him. His lips landed on mine, a fierce kiss that instantly had the world revolving around us, spinning madly, until I was dizzily searching for more. It was like the intervening years never happened, and I was right back at the safe house, falling in love with Evan all over again, my heart pounding in a thrilling rhythm.
