Chapter Seven

Grantaire drove a Porsche Cayenne and I would have been impressed except it looked just like my mom’s SUV, but with leather seats and a motor that went from 0 to 60 before you could blink. Okay, maybe I was a little impressed.

I had snuck out of the dorm before anyone, but Priscilla could see me.

“Why are you wearing a dress and makeup on a Sunday?” she had asked me.

“No reason,” I had called back over my shoulder, sailing out of our room and closing the door. I didn’t want her to know I was seeing the recipient of Abigail’s failed love spell.

“Did you decide on what movie you wanted to see?” he asked.

“A superhero one,” I said. I should have nicked a hundred out of my dad’s stash to buy popcorn and sodas. I was painfully aware that I was broke. In addition to taking my first aid exam, I should probably look into work study. Maybe, Ms. Barnes would let me shelve books in the restricted section.

“I heard you hurt your ankle yesterday.”

“Heard from who?” I rotated my ankle. It felt fine, but every now and then I would get a twinge. So maybe it was for the best I wasn’t going to be jumping around on it.

“The Enforcers get a report every evening about the things going on. Your name caught my eye.”

“Does that happen a lot?” I laughed nervously.

“You tell me,” he said in a teasing deadpan.

Hecate’s twisted knickers that wasn’t good. “Who compiles all the information? Are you guys holding out on us with email and the internet?”

“Unfortunately, no. We have no WiFi either. All the tree coverage and there isn’t a cell tower in range makes it a little difficult to get a signal.”

That reminded me. I pulled out my cell. “I have green bars,” I said excitedly. I probably had them yesterday, but I had been too absorbed in ransacking my parents’ house to notice.

“You’re not going to spend the entire time texting, are you?” he groaned.

“Only if you bore me.” I put my phone back in my pocket, even though I really wanted to call my mother.

“I’ll do my best not to.”

His smile was sweet and gave me hope that this was going to be a nice date with a cute boy instead of something more sinister.

“So what made you decide to become an Enforcer?” I asked.

“My parents are both in the FBMI, so it was kind of expected.”

I tensed. Maybe, Stefan was right. I shouldn’t have come here. Me and the FBMI didn’t get along.

“In fact, you know my mom.”

I groaned. Please let it be Agent Jackson, the good cop and not Agent Fines, the perfect cop.

“Nadia Fines.”

“Perfect,” I managed not to groan. “Your mom is a mind mage too?”

“One of the best mindbenders the bureau has,” Grantaire said proudly.

I was considering jumping out of the car and running back to the Academy.

“My shields are as good as a witch.”

Thank you for telling me that before I did anything stupid like try to pump you for information.
