Ladon had managed to lift some of her gloom. She accepted the insignia and now she laughed. He made her happy.

Dragon hung from the wall inside the main door. It is noisy in here.

Ladon tugged Rysa toward the inner door. “We need to hurry. Dragon says it’s loud in the store.”

They stopped next to the carts. The layered bouquet of her scent curled around him and her skin glowed like a vision of the jasmine and mist-under-the-moon he pulled in with each inhale.

She looked toward Dragon’s spot on the wall, her hand still in his. The perfect line of her jaw accented the tilt of her head. She didn’t move away.

She likes us.

Ladon glanced at the wall. Happiness flowed from the beast.

But Penny’s words still echoed in his mind. He’d fixed this moment, given Rysa this small joy, but she’d ask sooner or later. Her brow would crinkle and she’d say “Wait…” and his past would register. She’d want him to explain. And all the promise he’d seen in her eyes would vanish forever, only to be replaced by disappointment and anger.

Now, next to him, she peered down the aisle. “The cell phones are behind the cameras.”

A step moved her inches away. He pulled her back, wanting this moment to last. Wanting not to think about when she’d drop her gaze and mutter that he wasn’t someone she could be with.

Rysa looked up, her beautiful face in the present, in the right now, happy for the first time since they’d met. The world brightened. She wasn’t in a vision. She wasn’t seeing a future that might not come to pass or a past he couldn’t escape. She saw him, and she smiled.

It took all his effort not to pick her up. Not to kiss her neck and her cheeks and her lips and do his best, in the present, to make sure her smile never faded.

An electronic whine hit his skull like someone threw a rock at his temple—a customer on a call walked by. The pain yanked his mind back to the glaring harshness of the damned store.

“Are you okay?” Rysa glanced around. “All the cell phones?”

He nodded and dropped his head to her shoulder as he sought the comfort of her closeness. Her fingers moved up his arms and cupped his biceps.

“Give me your credit card. I’ll get a prepaid phone and meet you outside. It won’t take long.” She tapped his elbows.

She wanted to go into the store without him? He’d have to let go. And this store stretched deeper than his connection to Dragon.

“Don’t make that face. I’ll be fine. There’s not a single Burner around.”

The aisles did look clear. Neither he nor Dragon sensed any Shifters or Fates. “Are you sure?” He’d be happier if she had a phone not linked to her current number.

“It’s bad enough you’ve been driving around with yours on. Plus, the faster we’re done here, the faster we get dinner.” As quickly as she said the words, she smoothed her fingers over his stomach.
