I awoke to the smell of fresh pancakes. My mouth watered as I sat up and looked at the alarm clock.

Ten A.M.

I’d slept twelve hours. The curtains were drawn, and Elle had laid my boots by the door, which made me smile. Even though we were the same age, she always mothered me. Peeling the covers back, I slipped into the bathroom and took a quick ten-minute shower. My mom had the bathroom stocked full of disposable toothbrushes, shampoo bottles, tampons, everything you could need. This must be her main bolt hole besides Mara’s house and our home in Faerie.

Going to the closet, I felt a pang in my chest as I saw rows and rows of my mother’s clothes. Leaning forward, I inhaled sharply, smelling my mother’s unique scent. My throat tightened with emotion as the jasmine and vanilla hit my nose and overwhelmed my senses. My mom and I were the same size—a fact she bragged about in public often. Her hips were a tad bigger than mine, but nothing I couldn’t fix with a belt. Pulling out some low-slung jeans and an NYPD V-neck, I laced my boots and made my way out into the living room.

On the couch were blankets and a pillow where Elle must have slept, although now she was in the kitchen flipping pancakes.

“Where’d you get fresh eggs and stuff?” I called out.

“From me.” Mara’s voice made me jump a little, and I spun to find her leaning against the open front door of the apartment. Only it wasn’t a front door, it was a blue door that now led into her house. I would never be able to wrap my mind around these endless doors and how they could be configured to different places and realms.

She smiled. “Instacart is my friend.”

I grinned; the thought of a hundreds-years-old Fae ordering normie food from an iPhone app was hilarious. I wasn’t allowed a phone or any other electronics, other than the laptop and DVDs my mom brought me. Electronics malfunctioned around us anyway. Mara likely had to get a new phone every six months.

“My mom liked the place.” I observed her touch in everything. The paintings on the walls were all of flowers, her favorite, and the coffee maker was teal, which was her favorite color.

Mara nodded. “She did. New York is a special place for seekers. You’ll see.” She winked.

Elle handed me a plate of pancakes. “For Mara,” she told me.

I held it out to the Fae, assuming she would come inside and eat with us, but she shook her head. “I can’t enter Earth. Part of my … sentencing.”

Oh right. I was in New York and not in some weird blue door in-between place. I was having a hard time remembering that.

I handed her the pancakes and she plopped right down on the floor between the doorframe and started eating. Bashur came up behind her and she tossed him a pancake, which made me laugh. It felt good to laugh. I felt like I’d turned a corner in my grief.
