The afternoon before a shift, Daisy decided to meet up with Eddie and Elizabeth at The Bloody Hell Tea Room. Elizabeth had pestered her until she finally gave in. Despite her earlier desire to not participate in the club’s social life, she grew to love Elizabeth and Eddie. She’d had lunch with them a couple of times in the past two weeks, texted Elizabeth nearly every day, and been over to Eddie’s house for Sunday supper. When she moved on to Fort Bliss, she’d miss them both terribly.

In general, Daisy was more at home in a beer and wing joint than some place as girly as a tea room so her expectations were low when she walked into Bloody Hell. But instead of the doilies and pink furnishings she’d been picturing, the owners had gone for a British pop culture memorabilia theme. They divided the restaurant by fandoms such as Doctor Who, Alice in Wonderland, James Bond, Peter Pan and others. Daisy and Elizabeth chose the Harry Potter section, which featured posters from the films, much to Daisy’s poignant delight. Rose would love this place! She made a mental note to take her sister here before they left town, when she found her sister. If she found Rose

“Where’s Eddie?” Daisy asked, shaking off the gloomy thought.

“Running late,” Elizabeth replied. “But she should be here in a few.”

The librarian ordered for them. She chose a selection of scones, lemon curd, Devonshire cream, a few cucumber sandwiches, and a pot of Earl Grey tea to share. The tea service featured a Harry Potter House motif. Daisy got a Gryffindor cup, while Elizabeth received Hufflepuff.

“So, how’s the move going?” Daisy asked, as she slathered a chocolate chip scone with sweet Devonshire cream.

“It’s going well! We’ve almost got all my stuff moved over.”

“Any luck redecorating?” Daisy asked. Apparently, Ryker had been a bachelor quite a while and his place had a whole man cave motif. He had a large collection of soft-core porn style posters featuring women straddling bikes tacked up on his walls, Harley Davidson bedding, and a big ass screen television in the house with a ‘truly terrifying’ amount of porn, according to Elizabeth.

She snorted. “Not yet. I think he’s afraid of an estrogen invasion, but that’s okay, I have ways of getting what I want.” She gave a mock-villainous laugh.

Daisy just shook her head. “I’m sure you do.” She’d only seen Ryker a couple of times since she’d been here, but he and the librarian gave off a palpable heat and a sweetness she didn’t quite understand. Daisy had never really been a believer in love, but Ryker and Elizabeth were the closest to it she’d ever seen.

“I think you should come over later this week. I’m feelin’ a need for some moonshine.” She raised a brow. “Ooh, what about a Supernatural marathon?”

“We could make a drinking game,” Daisy said. “How about we do a shot every time it looks like Castiel is going to kiss Dean?”

“Good call!” She bit her lower lip.
