New Rules

It turns out Emil is a pleasant conversationalist, and the hour passes before I even realize it. We ended up sharing a large plate of spaghetti with meatballs, and I learned he prefers the ones made with sausage and plenty of fennel. I file that tidbit away for the next time I make pasta at home. When the waiter arrives with the dessert menu, he waves it away, and warmth fills my chest.

Definitely making him cannoli the first chance I get.

On the way back, we walk in comfortable silence. When we reach the alley that leads to the bakery parking lot, through some unspoken agreement, we turn down it instead of continuing to the front door.

I stop next to the side entrance and turn to Emil. “Thank you for linner.”

“It was a pleasure.” Surprise fills his voice, and at my frown, he adds, “It’s been a long time since I ate among humans. It felt...nice.”

Not in a hurry to go inside, I lean against the wall. “Humans are generally fun to be around.”

“That’s hard to remember sometimes.” He pats his pockets for a second before he pulls out a slender, silver cell phone. “I picked this up for you today.”

“Thank you.” I take it from him, warmed all over again by this show of consideration. “I meant to replace mine today, but...”

“You left the house before we woke this morning.” The question hovers in the air between us, and I sigh.

“I was too excited about today to sleep.” He shifts closer, and I peek up at him through my lashes. “And I had some things to think about.”

His hand lifts to cup my cheek, frosty against my skin. “About last night?”

A lump forms in my throat, and I swallow it down. “Yeah.”

He bends closer. “Did you come to any conclusions?”

Nervous, I lick my lips. “I’m considering revising the Rules board.”

“Oh?” Closer still, and I taste a hint of metallic frost on his breath. “Which part?”

“The kis–”

His mouth brushes against mine, freezing my words with the gentle kiss of snowflakes, slow and melting against my lips. I lift onto my toes to press us closer and inhale the burn of frostbite.

When his head lifts, small plumes of frozen air hover between us. “I think that’s an excellent idea.”

My tongue darts out to lick icicles from my lips. “Yeah, me, too.”

He reaches for the door handle and pulls it open. “Have a good rest of the day at work, Adie.”

“You, too.” I cringe instantly, and stammer, “I mean, have a good night.”

Instead of taking the opportunity to mock me, he smiles. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Yeah.” I sidle through the door and wait for it to close before banging my head against its solid surface. “Stupid, stupid, Adie. You, too. Gah!”

A soft tap comes from the other side of the door, followed by Emil’s voice. “Adie, you okay?”

Flinching away, I yell, “Fine!”

A light touch on my arm makes me jump a foot in the air, and I swing around to find the little gray imp at my side.
