CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I didn’t ride a phoenix. Or roll around on the floor with one. And I regretted nothing. At all. Not even a little.

Well, maybe a little.

The large window in front of Adrienne’s shop was filled with tastefully placed antiques. During business hours, they gleamed under the light, enticing passersby. Now, they were bathed in shadow along with the rest of her store.

“It’s closed,” I told Adam.

“I can see that,” he said dryly. “Can you call her?”

“I already did. She didn’t answer. Maybe Ollie knows.”

“Okay. Let’s go to Golden Cat.”

He was halfway down the street before his words sunk in. Hell no. I rushed after him, but it was too late. Ollie was crossing the street, balancing a stack of boxes higher than his head. He smiled when he saw me. “Hey, Sophia. On a date?”

“Do you see flying pigs?”

He snorted. “She’s mean to people she likes.”

“Good to know.” Adam smiled and reached for the boxes. “Let me give you a hand.”

“Thanks,” he said.

I grabbed a box and followed them through Ollie’s shop into the kitchen. We placed the boxes where Ollie told us to and stepped back into the main area. I sat at the bar and licked my lips, eyeing the key lime pie in the corner of the display. Ollie placed the pie in front of me. I gave him a huge grin. I was a big fan of people bringing me food. Especially his food.

Adam sat next to me, brow raised.

“Food is a big part of my life,” I said through a forkful of pie.

“Yep.” Ollie called from the kitchen. “An entire third of it. Eat. Sleep. Kill.” He came out and placed a bottle of Corona in front of Adam. “And it sucks. Take her to a movie one day. Ice skating, a walk on the beach. Anything.”

I smacked his arm. “Don’t tell strangers to take me out.”

“He’s not a stranger,” he said. “Besides, I was going nuts trying to get his order back there. Took me a minute to realize the thing he wanted most in here was you.”

I choked, reaching blindly for Adam’s beer. He handed it over, and I chugged it. “Green witches can’t tell that kind of stuff!”

Ollie turned to Adam. “Am I wrong?”

He shook his head. “Good call on the beer too.”

“See?”

“Wish I couldn’t,” I mumbled.

Ollie rolled his eyes. “I like him. Let him take you out.”

If he found out I was Fireborn, he would take me out. “Butt out of my love life.”

“You have no love life.”

“And no energy to deal with this. I just got home, and you’re ambushing me.”

“You woke up less than an hour ago after a full night’s sleep,” Adam said. “And I’ve already taken her on a date.”

Ollie’s brows shot up. “Really?”

I smacked Adam’s arm, holding back a pained grunt at the impact. Between stabbing Cyrus’ golems and the ones on the mountain, my arm was ready to break. “You guys are way too friendly for people who just met.”

“We’ve met before,” Adam said, patting my back as I choked on more pie.
