The scents of bacon and coffee lured Jade out of bed after a restless night of sleep. Actually, restless wasn’t the right word. Disturbing was more like it.

Though she didn’t remember the details, she knew she’d dreamt last night, and it wasn’t just her wet panties that told her so. It was the feeling that she needed to get into the shower as quickly as possible and scrub herself clean.

She’d felt the same way several mornings ago, after the last night she’d slept in Grandma Nina’s bed. Probably just her subconscious trying to deal with everything that happened yesterday.

Gathering up her things, she went downstairs and took an extra long, extra hot shower before following the murmur of male voices into the kitchen.

“I don’t want her going back there,” Emmett was saying.

“I know. I get that,” Nick said. “But I’m telling you, this thing might not be wrapped up in a matter of days. My stuff detected zilch last night. Not even weak signals. Nothing, man. Everything I’ve got on the house says it’s safe.”

She wasn’t sure she was ready to believe that, and Emmett looked like he felt the same way. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration, but brightened when he saw her.

“Hey, babe. Sleep well?” He got up and gave her a peck on the cheek.

“No, not really,” she answered without elaborating. She squeezed his arm affectionately and went to the coffee pot to pour herself a mug.

“I don’t want to go back,” she said, almost to herself.

Emmett was pulling a plate out of the cabinet for her. He put it on the table and came to surround her with his arms. “Then you won’t. Not until you’re ready.” His cheek rested on her head, and from Nick’s grim expression where he sat at the table, she could guess Emmett was glaring at his friend.

She felt guilty for causing trouble between them.

“I can give you another day,” Nick said, “but I’ve got to get back by tomorrow. I’ve got a final.”

“But it’s August,” she said. “You have classes in the summer?”

Nick nodded and downed the rest of his coffee. “I’m doing summer term. I’m getting married in November and want my last semester to be super light.” Getting up to put his dishes in the dishwasher, he added, “After summer term, I only have seven credits left and then I’m legit. That’s like one heavy course and one light one in the fall. Should be a piece of cake.”

“Congratulations,” she said. What did Nick’s fiancée think about him studying demonology? Probably not the time to ask. She pushed out of Emmett’s arms to scoop the last of the eggs out of the frying pan and onto her plate.

“Thanks,” Nick said to Jade. To Emmett he said, “It’s a stumper, for sure. I mean,
