Derrick was stunned, after all this time did, they finally get a hold of the information they needed to end this curse once and for all? Something was finally going right for him and his family. Raven was amazing and the more time he spent with her the more he craved. He watched her across the library all morning, she flipped through books, took notes and not once did her concentration waver. She was as dedicated as his family, he knew she wanted her magic back, but all she talked about was ending the curse for his family. He watched as she pushed the box on the table and bent over to start looking through the book right away. His eyes were drawn to her backside, he couldn’t contain the groan that came out.

Stephen slapped him on his back “Watch it cousin, or someone will think you are affected… and I don’t mean by the curse.” Stephen laughed and walked out the library doors.

Derrick groaned this time silently, he was affected but not by the curse. Just a really bad case of lust, this woman tempted him like no other. It was more than her body though; her mind was amazing, and she was caring and generous and he sounded ridiculous. He shook his head and walked over to grab a plate of food. Raven had moved into a chair and was flipping through the book as fast as she could. Derrick filled a plate with a little bit of everything and brought it over to her. “Eat and read, we need you at full strength.” Raven glanced up at him with a glazed look in her eyes. “Thanks.”

Derrick walked back to the table to get more food, he grabbed his plate and started filling it. Movement behind him had him glancing back “Hey dad, are you doing okay?”

“I’m fine, I really like your lady, son. You made a fine choice.”

Derrick smiled and kept grabbing food, “You don’t mind her family caused us so much grief? I mean she would be a reminder every day of who and what we lost.”

“She would be a reminder of all that is good, a reminder of the curse ending, of you finding love, of our family growing. She will be all those things for us one day soon. You have my blessing and honestly my encouragement. Make a move son. Don’t wait, life is to short even for us.” He grabbed some pasta and walked away, back to his table and Derrick’s mom. That was what he wanted in life, a partner like his parents, but he always thought it was wrong to subject someone to his curse. He knew they would never go through it directly, but was it worse to be the one standing on the outside, watching everyone you love waste away and there was nothing you can do about it? How did his mom do it? She knew her children, her husband and everyone around her was going to waste away and all she could do was wait and watch it.
