It was late and the dance was long since over. All the students were gone; Ari and Shane were the only ones still sitting in the commons. Charity had been nearing a complete physical and emotional collapse so Hunter had walked her back to her room.

Ari listened to Shane tell the last police officer what they knew. Again.

"We'll be in touch if we need anything else," the officer said as he stood up. Ari stood with him, and Shane hauled himself to his feet as well. They watched the police car back away.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Ari asked in the sudden silence.

"Yeah. She didn't even need to go to the hospital. I'm a good healer," Shane said.

Ari glanced sideways at him. "One day soon you'll have to explain to me what, exactly, you are."

Shane stared at her for a long moment, shoving his hands in his pockets. "It's dangerous for you to know anything, Ari," he said.

"I know that you do magic with little blue flames. What could you tell me more dangerous than that?" She raised an eyebrow. He smirked and looked down at the ground. "It's just that…" He didn't get to finish because a teacher approached from the main building, calling that it was past curfew. Shane looked over at him, then reached out and took her hand, squeezing it gently. "I'll tell you what I can, one day. But not tonight. It's been a long couple of weeks and I am exhausted."

She looked down at their hands, together. Her heart raced and her mouth was so dry she couldn't form words. Slowly she raised wide eyes and found him staring at her with the most unfathomable expression.

He opened his mouth to say something else but the teacher was within earshot, clapping his hands at them like he was trying to scare off a flock of birds.

Ari shot him an annoyed glance, but Shane let go of her hand with an embarrassed chuckle. "See you tomorrow," Shane said, giving her one last, long look.

Butterflies attacked Ari’s stomach; all she could do was nod and give him a half-wave. Turning, she went inside.
