Chapter Nine

<^> <^> <^>

Warrick practically skipped to his shop early the next morning. Even though he hadn’t expected to, he’d slept like the dead. That was a favorite saying of his brother, who tried out vampire humor at every opportunity. Viktor was like a lawyer who couldn’t resist collecting lawyer jokes.

Warrick was willing to admit he was uncharacteristically giddy this morning. And he was in love with Bianca Forrester. She was the first thought in his head when he woke up. The only question he cared to think about was how Bianca felt upon waking in the morning light, especially about him.

He opened his showroom and entered, putting the old-fashioned sign in the front window from closed to open, and headed straight for his workshop. He needed to finish the cheval mirror, as it was due for his client in a few days. All he needed was to preserve the wood, insert the mirror, wrap it up and deliver it.

Before he started his day, Warrick checked his phone messages. Viktor had left one the night before. He listened, but the only thing his brother said was, “Hey, Bro, I just found something out that you need to know. Call me tomorrow night and I’ll tell all.”

Warrick put his phone away and got to work on the cheval mirror, setting an alarm on his phone to ensure he made it to Mummy’s Diner on time to meet Bianca.

The morning’s work went by quickly and before he knew it the alarm on his phone sounded. He put the finishing touches on the cheval mirror to seal his dragon-kissed design. After lunch, he would apply the sealant. It needed a whole day to dry completely. Then he would insert the mirror, make all the finishing touches and get it ready for delivery.

Warrick did his best not to fast walk to Mummy’s Diner, but it wasn’t easy.

He was more than ten minutes early. He scanned the diner, but didn’t see Bianca anywhere. He got a table for two near the front window and waited, not very patiently. At exactly twelve o’clock, the door opened and Bianca stepped inside. He watched her search the room with her gaze. Her eyes found his and her expression, along with her whole body, seemed to light up. Like every wish she’d ever uttered had just been granted. Warrick stood up and gave her a little finger wave, smiling like a fool because he was so happy to see her.

When she got close enough to hear him, he said, “Hey, good to see you. I’m glad you made it.”

Bianca launched herself at him and hugged him tight, burying her face in his throat. “I missed you so much.”

Warrick hugged her back, kissed her forehead and directed her to the chair across from his. She sat, but didn’t let go of his hand.

“I didn’t sleep at all last night,” she said. “And I’m not sure I haven’t had enough coffee yet to be coherent.”

“Interesting. I slept like it was my job.
