I scanned the Underground as I sat in the booth, waiting for a magical miracle to strike and one of the potions I’d drunk to have a delayed reaction and actually work. Someone in this room could’ve been behind the spell that had obliterated my memory, and here I sat, eating a salad like a sitting duck, no idea who was friend or foe. I could’ve been brushing shoulders with the asshole and not know.

Flip slid into the booth and took in my sweatshirt and yoga pants that looked like they’d been slept in—plus the disheveled hair that was mostly in a ponytail and the dark circles under my eyes—before stating the obvious: “You don’t look so hot.”

I wasn’t sure if it was my green skin or lack of sleep.

“Rough sleep.” I hadn’t realized that the vomiting wouldn’t be the end of the side effects. Muscle cramps had interrupted the few hours of sleep I’d tried to slip in that afternoon. To top it off, I’d been trying to eat a salad to get something in my stomach when Kane walked out of his office, followed by a very happy-looking witch named Dana.

He stood outside the door for all to see, being chummy with her as they laughed over some shared joke.

Flip propped her chin on her hand and studied me intently. “You look kind of mad, too.”

I shrugged. “I’m not mad.”

Laughter rang down from above, and I stabbed a tomato, afraid to look at the duo the merriment came from. If I did, I was afraid the railing Dana was leaning on might break, which would be unfortunate. Kane would want to know what happened and probably deduce that my emotions had gotten the better of me. And the why of that was baffling. He’d surely make unflattering assumptions, such as me wanting him or something. That assumption was the only thing making me hold my emotions together.

Flip glanced up toward the pair, who were laughing again, and her long sigh drifted over to me.

I couldn’t keep it in anymore. By Flip’s assertion, she was supposed to be my friend, so why should I? “For someone who I was supposedly involved with, he’s getting very chummy with another person who was horrible to me.”

“I wouldn’t exactly say…”

I looked up from my salad, fork clenched in my hand. “Wouldn’t say what?”

She leaned back a bit, staring at my fork. “He’s not exactly flaunting anything.”

“Are you kidding? Look at them.”

She looked back, as if she were missing something and had to reexamine the scene. “Well, he’s just standing there talking to her.”

“He could’ve talked to her inside the office. She was already in there with him for the last twenty-two minutes.” I stabbed another tomato.

“Twenty-two? Not, I don’t know, twenty? Because those two minutes…” She whistled loudly, shaking her head.

“Stop messing with me. You know I’m in a bad mood.” I stared at my salad, hoping the room would remain laughter-free for at least a few minutes.

“So you’re in a bad mood?” She leaned forward, her chin in her hand.
