Chapter Ten – New Lessons

“Grace!” Bridgette exclaimed, beaming with pleasure. I couldn’t stop staring. “How strange to see you here! We were just talking about you. Oh, my goodness, you look awful! Are you alright?”

Nathaniel and Jai greeted me with subtle nods, waiting patiently for me to speak. They barely acknowledged David which was probably for the best, I could feel him fuming with silent anger beside me despite the fact that I had warned him we were here to meet with them. Their presence had definitely set him on edge. Luckily, Bridgette seemed oblivious to all the tension going on around her.

“No, I’m not all right,” I answered in carefully modulated tones. I fought the unexpected, violent urge to slap her. “Sebastian is still missing. I haven’t slept all night and I’m worried sick. I have more important things to worry about than how I look, not that you’d understand.” My words wiped the smile off Bridgette’s face as quickly as a slap. She looked stunned, her eyes wide and her neatly arched brows lifted. I only felt the slightest glimmer of guilt. “What are you doing with these two anyway? Where’s your chaperone… Lena?”

“She’s back at the hotel,” Bridgette sniffed. She straightened her shoulders and looked haughtily down her nose at me. “I’m not a child, Grace, I know how to take care of myself. Besides, I have my friends here to look out for me. This is Nathaniel and this is Jai; they’re guests at The Queen’s also. We met in the restaurant this morning and ended up having breakfast together. The boys were just about to escort me on a stroll around the inner harbor.” Bridgette smiled sweetly, batting her eyelashes up at Nathaniel, her arm still looped through his.

“Bridgette told us she was here for your wedding, to act as your Maid of Honor,” Jai commented, his brown eyes apologetic. “Naturally, we were curious.”

“Wait, do you know each other?” Bridgette asked sharply. Her eyebrows drew together, her eyes flashing back and forth between us.

“We’ve met Grace before, yes,” Nathaniel admitted softly. “And her friend, David.”

“I am not her friend,” David immediately corrected. His sharp words caught all of our attention. “I am only helping her hunt for Sebastian since she has deceived and manipulated me with her magic so that I no longer have any choice.”

“Her magic?” Bridgette echoed curiously. Her eyes had lit up with excitement.

“David, shut up,” I warned, glaring at him. He laughed, a harsh, chilling sound.

“What’s wrong, Caoilinn? Don’t like how the truth sounds?”

“Stop it—now. I’m warning you.”

“Or you’ll what? Don’t think I haven’t noticed your reluctance to actually use the Lost Magic. Only if you deem it truly necessary, if there’s no other way—is that how it works? You’re a fool and a coward.”

“This isn’t a game, David,” I growled. I felt like I was rapidly losing control of the situation. Nathaniel and Jai were watching me silently, waiting to see how I would react. Bridgette was looking back and forth between David and I, her eyes wide with confusion.
