Despite Hamish’s promise to come back later that evening and relieve Enya, he didn’t. Instead, Aiden showed up at Tessa’s apartment. Enya assured her that Aiden would keep her safe before she left. According to Aiden, Hamish had been busy breaking into Gunn’s office at City Hall to go through his stuff, and was planning to do the same at his home, just as soon as he and his wife were fast asleep.

It was odd how quickly she’d gotten used to his presence and how alone she felt when Hamish wasn’t with her. She shouldn’t feel that way. After all, she knew this was all temporary. Once the danger was over, once the demons were defeated, Hamish would leave, too. There was nothing between them, just two kisses, both stolen in moments of despair and fear. Kisses that—according to his own words—meant nothing to him.

She tried to tell herself that they meant nothing to her either, but she would be lying. She’d enjoyed those brief moments of intimacy. She’d dreamed about those kisses, relived them again and again, though she knew there would be no repeats.

Sighing, Tessa got dressed in her yoga clothes. A session at the studio might help her relax and shake off the worries of the last few days. She walked into the living room, where Aiden was lounging on the couch, a coffee mug in his hand.

“Morning, Tessa, hope you slept well,” he said. “Want some coffee?”

She shook her head. “Not before my yoga class. Coffee before you’re doing a downward dog isn’t a good idea.”

“Got it,” he said and put his mug aside. “What time does your class start?”

“In fifteen minutes.”

“Well, we’d better leave then or you’ll be late.”

“It’s just around the corner,” she said and grabbed her yoga mat and her handbag. She pulled out her cell phone and looked at it. “Darn, battery is dead. I’d better charge it.” She plugged it into the wall jack and laid it on the small side table.

“I’m assuming you don’t want to be seen with me,” Aiden said.

“Not that I don’t want to show up with a handsome guy, but I’d hate to have to explain to the other women who you are.”

“Hey, just checking. I prefer to remain incognito anyway.” He motioned to the door. “Lead the way. I’ll be right behind you.”

She walked to the door and opened it, then looked over her shoulder, but Aiden had already cloaked himself. “I really don’t know how you manage to avoid doors constantly getting slammed in your face when you’re invisible.”

He chuckled, but said nothing.

Her yoga mat under her arm, Tessa hurried down the stairs, then exited her apartment building. It was sunny outside, and she enjoyed the short walk to the yoga studio. But before she got there she realized she’d forgotten her water bottle.

“Gotta stop for water,” she murmured for Aiden’s benefit, and went into the convenience store next to the studio. She walked to the back of the store where the refrigerators were located and pulled a bottle of still water from one.
