Chapter 17

AS WAS THE CUSTOM—A relatively new one—the office dwellers in Sophie’s clairvoyancy business, along with Mel when she was free, met for lunch at the large table near the kitchen.

Miss Sharpe had a healthy salad with the dressing on the side she had prepared beforehand and a cup of green tea; Mel and Sophie had a salad roll they purchased earlier when one of the ladies in the tenant offices did her much-appreciated lunch run for all the tenants, and Jack had all the ingredients displayed before him to make his own sandwich fit for a giant. He rose to get a drink from the kitchen.

‘Oh my, he is dreamy, isn’t he?’ Mel gushed watching him depart.

‘Is he?’ Sophie asked confused and looked to the doorway where he exited.

‘He is a very lovely man,’ Miss Sharpe agreed. ‘A real gentle giant and an excellent grifter from what I’ve heard.’

‘He’s more than that,’ Mel sighed, ‘he’s gorgeous.’

‘Really?’ Sophie said again making Miss Sharpe laugh.

Mel rolled her eyes. ‘I’m not surprised you haven’t noticed given the parade of good-looking witches that come and go – Lukas, Nikolas and the detective.’

‘Murdoch?’ Sophie said, her heart speeding up. She had spent most of the morning trying not to think about Murdoch with very little success. The way he assured her she was safe, that he would stay with her when she was freaking out, and the way he had taken her to the edge and beyond in bed in her dreams, and they were just dreams... at least she thought they were. Sophie reached for her glass of water and was pleased that Miss Sharpe was speaking and she was not required to respond.

‘Technically, Nikolas is more of a shapeshifter than a witch,’ Miss Sharpe said dabbing her mouth with a paper serviette.

Jack entered the room hearing her comment and resumed his seat taking up the width of the end of the table and oblivious to Mel’s enamoured gaze.

‘I haven’t seen Nik transform for a long time. I wonder if he’s lost the knack,’ Jack said smiling at his play on words which he had to explain. ‘Nik knack, you know the kid’s rhyme, never mind.’ Mel laughed at his play on words earning an appreciative smile from him.

‘What does he transform into?’ Sophie asked keenly, ‘I’d love to see that.’

‘He’s got a few party tricks,’ Jack said with a chuckle. ‘He can take several forms but I think his most natural is the wolf. Pretty normal stuff.’

Mel scoffed. ‘Like that’s normal, maybe in your world.’

Jack acknowledged her words with a smile and a wink in her direction which made her swoon even more to Sophie and Miss Sharpe’s amusement.

Sophie sobered. ‘I saw some interesting news today. Lukas and Lucy are engaged.’

‘Oh,’ Miss Sharpe said and placed a hand on her heart. ‘I hope that hasn’t hurt you, Sophie.’

‘Why? Are you in love with Lukas?’ Jack asked.

‘Well, if I was, your diplomacy and sensitivity would be much appreciated,’ Sophie said, playfully smacking him on the arm and earning a deep chuckle from Jack.
