Chapter Thirty

When they’d returned to New Orleans the previous night, Cali had gone straight to bed and hadn’t woken until late afternoon. An exchange of texts with Tanyith arranged a meeting at the Dragons for that evening and confirmed that he’d stopped by to inform Zeb that they were still alive. She spent much of the interval between showering and working on making sure her apartment was spotless. It was likely that she’d spend less time there since she now had another house in need of her attention and she wanted to know that everything was in its place in case she had to be away for a while.

She pulled on her favorite jean shorts and a tank top and walked through the Quarter with Fyre at her side. Dasante hadn’t answered when she’d knocked, so they took a meandering route to Jackson Square, where they found him engaged in his magic act to the delight of the nearby tourists. He took a break to chat and catch up, and she spent her remaining spare hour acting as his barker, spreading her inane patter over the passing people and urging them to come and enjoy the mysterious magician.

She loved every minute of it and by the time she headed toward the Dragons, her sides hurt from laughing too much. Zeb grinned widely at her entrance and motioned for her to take a seat. In moments, stew, bread, and cider appeared in front of her, and she told him the story of their adventures under the sea while she wolfed the food down. The second helping went more slowly, and when Tanyith finally arrived, she was thoroughly full and content.

It was no surprise that Detective Kendra Barton trailed him in and for once, Cali didn’t feel the need to tease them. She was merely happy to have everyone safe and together. Zeb made a quick-draw soda water spray at Fyre, and the Draksa snapped and growled obligingly as he drank it from his position behind the bar. So much had been different over the last week that it was a joy to be back with her extended family.

The trip had cemented that concept in her mind. Family had been an elusive idea for her since the deaths of her parents. Part of her was afraid to truly let others in for fear she’d lose them. Another part desperately craved that connection. Among these people, she’d found the right balance. Aside from all the chuckleheads trying to kill her and the knowledge that behind her, Janice was probably annoying the customers who Cali relied on for tips, everything was excellent.

“So, did you discover anything interesting about your parents?” Kendra asked and Tanyith shot her a strange look at the question.

Cali shrugged. “Not much. All the information I found was from before they came here. So while I know why they left, I have no idea what they did afterward. I had hoped to find out who might have had a problem with them, but no such luck.
