Chapter 15

“I’m not going away,” Felicity answered. “I promise. I’d like to be your friend.”

“Yes, you are,” Lily answered.

“No, I’m not. Really. I’ll be around for as long as Enthrall will allow.”

Lily shook her head, concentrating on licking the chocolate from her fingertips. “Nope.”

“Lily, that’s enough,” Carolena said, placing plates piled high with bacon, eggs, fresh sliced bread and peach preserves in front of everyone, except herself. She placed a cup of tea and a saucer with a slice of toast on it at her own place at the table.

Lily leaned forward and waited until Carolena looked at her. Her little eyebrows raised and a firm look on her face, she pointed her finger at the ceiling. “Hers going to da sky,” she said slowly, emphatically.

Felicity didn’t say anything, but her face went white. Enthrall reached out and took Felicity’s hand in his, squeezing it to let her know it was okay.

“No. I won’t let her go. I’m going to keep her with me,” Enthrall said.

“Why?” Lily asked.

“Felicity is to me, like your mom is to your dad. She’s very important to me. She is my happy place.”

“Are you gonna married her?” Lily asked.

“She hasn’t agreed to, yet. But we’ll see,” Enthrall said, bringing Felicity’s hand to his lips to kiss her knuckles.

“Don’t put this on me, you haven’t asked yet,” Felicity snapped back at him, pulling her hand free to spread some butter on the bread before slathering it with preserves.

Carolena grinned when Felicity snapped at Enthrall. “I like that. She stands up to you.”

“Thank you, Carolena,” Felicity said, while winking at Enthrall. Then she smiled hugely, the happiness in her voice genuine as she spoke to Carolena. “So, I hear congratulations are in order!”

“‘Es! Baybee!” Carnage said, pointing at Carolena, who was slowly eating her toast and sipping her tea.

“Yes!” Carolena agreed. “Though most mornings I can’t stomach much more than just this.” Carolena indicated the toast on her saucer.

“How exciting!” Felicity said. “You are very blessed.”

“More than you know,” Carolena answered.

Carnage watched the woman, Felicity, talk to Carolena about her pregnancy. And he wanted to know, so he asked. “Mate?” he said, pointing at Enthrall.

Felicity looked surprised. “Umm, I’m not sure what you’re asking.”

Carnage moved his question to Enthrall; he pointed at Felicity. “Mate?”

“Yes,” was all Enthrall said. No explanation further.

Carnage grinned, nodding. Then he pointed at Felicity again. “Baybeez?” he said, forcing the last part of the word out and enunciating the z’s with extra effort.

“Carnage! You don’t ask people if they want babies. At least not ones you don’t really know well,” Carolena said.

“My know,” he objected.

“You don’t know her, you just met her.”

“My know!” he insisted. Then he looked at Felicity again. “Baybeez?” he asked again.

“Carnage!” Carolena scolded again.

“No, it’s okay,” Felicity said, stopping Carolena from shushing Carnage again. “I’d love to have babies one day. I love children. I hope I can.”

“Gooood,” Carnage said, nodding to himself. Then he grinned at Carolena as he popped another piece of bacon in his mouth, followed by his last bit of chocolate, and crunched away happily.
