Two weeks later, Patrick sat on his couch, Veronica at the other end, her elderly human glamour shed. Patrick kept his glamour on, as he usually did. He would say he was just accustomed to it, but admittedly, his true form wasn’t quite as . . . normative as Veronica’s.

She might lament the fact she was shorter and more full-figured than the typical fae, but he was perfectly fine with that. Yes, very fine with it, he thought as he enjoyed the view of that full figure straining at her silk dressing gown. He’d enjoy more than a view soon enough. Just as soon as he recovered his energy from the activities that had preceded her donning the gown.

They were drinking fae wine he’d brought up from the cellar, basking in the afterglow and the silence, comfortable in each other’s company, old lovers and older friends.

“Gabriel’s coming to Cainsville for Calan Gaeaf,” Veronica said. “Rose mentioned it last night.”

Patrick sipped his wine and let the tingle of it slide through him before he gave a noncommittal, “Hmm.”

Veronica leaned forward, treating him to an even better view of her breasts, black hair tumbling over them. “That doesn’t work on me, bòcan. I know you’ve been waiting to see him.”

“I’ve changed my mind.”

“Have you now?”

Patrick swirled the wine in his glass. “I have other plans. I’ll be away.”

“Will you?”

“That seems best.”

“Does it?”

He met her green eyes. “It does.”

She studied him, tilting her head, and he knew his nonchalance didn’t fool her for a second. Not Veronica. But after a moment, she said. “If you think it’s best.”

“I’ll wait until he’s older. Less angsty. More interesting.” He put down his empty glass. “Now, speaking of interesting, let’s see if we can find a way to pass the time before my early morning flight. I have, apparently, agreed to a book tour.”
