Chapter 20

Lydia

This day had been filled with twists and turns, and it was only mid-morning. After a sleepless night, she had run to Quentin, distraught and convinced that something terrible had happened to her friend. Now she was just confused about what Jack was doing. She had seen him herself, and she knew he was safe—at least, physically safe. She had also run to Quentin knowing that he might very well turn her away because of the lack of trust that they had in each other, and now they were being open with each other about everything. As they drove towards Norman Rockwell’s house, she had talked to him about all of the things that she had read about dragon shifters that were so fascinating to her, and he had agreed with certain parts of it, and he’d debunked other myths that she’d adopted as true.

And she had run to Quentin this morning convinced that she could never tell him that she had been pursuing him because she knew his true identity, but now she had confessed all, seen him in all of his incredible beauty and power as a dragon, and she was going to meet the oldest living member of the Rockwell Clan, so that they could all investigate a supernatural mystery together.

“Here we are,” Quentin said, pulling up in front of a house that was set off on its own, on the edge of Baton Rouge. It was a large house with three floors, and a big porch, and lots of green space around it that was beautiful even though it was mid-January. There were white columns rising between the wooden slats of the porch and the picturesque overhang. Flowering bushes framed the porch, and tall, towering trees rose up from behind the house, making the entire scene picturesque.

“God, it’s beautiful,” Lydia said, unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out of Quentin’s car. “It’s like the quintessential southern home …but better.”

Quentin chuckled. “Yeah, that sums it up well enough.

Norman was expecting them, and he was waiting with the door open, as they walked up the porch steps. Quentin had called ahead, and Norman had welcomed them over. Now, as they approached him, the slightly stooped, silver-haired man with a beaming smile and warm, lively eyes motioned for them to come inside. “Come, come, come,” Norman said, welcoming them and ushering them into the main sitting area. “I always enjoy visitors in the morning. It’s the best time of day, if you ask me. You can’t be tired of the day before noon, can you?”

“Thank you for having us over,” she said as Norman handed her a glass of sweet tea. “My name is Lydia Winn. It’s very nice to meet you.”

“Yes, yes, it is,” Norman said. “Nice to meet you, that is. Everyone, please—sit down, sit down.”

They all sat with drinks in hand. There were also little snacks on a plate on the coffee table, and after running away from her breakfast before she’d really had a chance to eat, the cheese and crackers looked appetizing.
