Chapter 22

TAMMY MOON

Apparently, Beowulf was being a huge pain in the butt while on lockdown in the psych ward. I didn’t have the details, but Detective Sherbet had called and given Mom the scoop. She’d given me the teen-safe version of what had happened, was that he was, yes, being a jerk. Someday, I wanted the full, adult version, but I didn’t read Mom’s mind because she’d really been on my case for doing it.

So, we had a while before we could see Beowulf and try to track down the Grail, or as Thorn called it, the Cup of Forgiveness. Apparently, Beowulf had to be cleared first after an initial evaluation, to ensure that he wasn’t a danger to any visitors, even “family.” And right now, he was sleeping off a big dose of tranquilizers.

In the meantime, life went on…

We had two eating machines in the house—not just Anthony, but now, Thorn, too. Mom needed to go shopping, but was unwilling to leave Anthony and me alone with him, in case we got attacked by who knows what while she was gone. It was embarrassing what a worrywart she was. Beowulf was in custody, locked up in the psych ward, so what could possibly happen now?

Anyway, we made plans for the four of us to go food shopping. Yeah, who knew we would be taking a dragon-man to get groceries? But that’s the way life works. People gotta eat and so do dragon shifters.

While Mom made a list of things we needed, Anthony was the one who actually convinced Thorn to take a shower by telling him, “Dude, no offense, but you smell rank. Let’s do something about it or I’m going to hurl on the way to the store!”

Talk about subtle, Anthony was far from it. But as much as I didn’t want to admit it, Thorn really needed to know that he needed to clean up! I was just glad I wasn’t the one to have to tell him.

After the plumbing operations were explained and the hot and cold faucets were clear to him, Thorn took a shower until the hot water ran out and then, he took a cold one, too. And then, he took a bath with all my bath fizzies. I tried not to laugh as I heard him exclaim, first in alarm and then in laughter in his own ancient Danish language as he got in the tub, knocked the container over in the water and got his man parts fizzed pretty good.

After I heard the tub drain, and we heard Thorn scrounging for towels in the cupboard, Anthony tapped on the door to give him a travel kit of guy things, which made me choke up because some of it was Dad’s stuff—Anthony wouldn’t even let me touch those things, let alone give them away to a stranger. But he did.

And now, with the door a bit ajar, they both stood at the hall bathroom’s double-sink counter. Both their faces were covered in
