Sid followed Ella and Aspen out to the car. Aspen ignored him and slammed the car door shut, but Ella lingered for a moment. She looped her arm through Sid’s and rested her head on his shoulder. She stared in through her car window at Aspen, who had her arms crossed and was facing away.

“Her subconscious likes you. She’ll come around.”

“I’d rather her conscious self like me.”

Ella laughed. “Yeah, me too. You’re scheduled to work together Sunday morning. Try to be nicer this time.” She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. “See you tomorrow.”

Aspen and Ella drove away in a cloud of dust. He was tormented by the pain of watching her leave, mingled with the pleasure of finding her in his lap. If he’d had any idea the sealing was like this, he probably would’ve done it ages ago with Skye. But then he would’ve been in more trouble because he couldn’t have hid it.

Sid walked out into the night air and sat on the fountain edge. The stars were bright in the clear sky since his house was dark. Theo must have gone to bed when Ella left. Aspen brushed off their relationship as nothing, and it bothered him. As dragons, they couldn’t physically mate with more than one. Theo thought that as long as no one found out he’d be fine, but he wouldn’t be. Theo would never be able to seal himself to anyone, except maybe Ella, but maybe not. Sid never heard of anyone mating before they were sealed. And Theo certainly killed any possibility of kids.

A dying star fell across the sky, and Sid’s thoughts turned to Aspen. He had no idea she sealed herself to him the first time she saw him. He had mistaken her feelings of love for excitement. Strange things like that happened occasionally. There had been an instance with a canyon dragon whose parents had died, and he was raised by an unsealed dragon who cared for him so much that she accidentally sealed herself to him. It wasn’t a romantic love, but it was love just the same. She came to the king pleading for a solution.

He sent the dragonling to a different family and told her the sealing would fade over time as long she stayed away from the child. The king praised her for having the foresight to come to him before it was too late. For if the dragonling had been a few years older, he could’ve quite easily sealed himself back to her. Children often love their parents fiercely, but since their parents were already sealed to each other, the dragonlings couldn’t actually become sealed to them. If the canyon dragon had waited, she would’ve doomed the child to a loveless life, for she was old, only a couple hundred years away from death.

Sid figured Aspen loved Obsidian the dragon. But she despised Sid the man. The key to her heart would be as a dragon, but how did he show her
