Chapter Thirteen

Cardi pressed her fingers to her mouth. Kimber had almost kissed her. His lips had been within a breath of hers. She could feel the soft impression though they hadn't touched her lips. She'd tasted his breath and it was better than any sweet flower she'd ever had. Heck, it was even better than Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Dominos pizza all rolled into one.

How could she crave something that was out of her reach? The want of him was a physical ache. It had always been.

She had sworn she'd given up being sick when she came to this world. Yet every time Kimber turned away from her she felt a chill run through her body. Every time he raised his voice at her, she got a feverish ache between her thighs. Every time he denied her, she just wanted to pounce on him until he gave her her way.

She'd lost the illness that had confined her when she came here. She'd gained her health and was able to run, and breathe, and even fly. But every night she still went to bed sick that Kimber didn't want her.

No more. Tonight, that almost kiss was the final straw.

He could've had her right there. But once again he'd walked away. That was the last time. The for real last time. She was done with him.

"Hey."

She'd slammed the plate down to hard and some of the stew spilled on the burly fae seated in her section the next morning.

"Sorry," Cardi said using part of the linen table cloth to wipe up the spill.

"It's all right," said the male fairy. "It was my fault. I should've taken the bowl from you when I saw you coming."

He turned from her and began spooning the food into his mouth. Cardi looked at the male. She looked at all the trolls and pixies and elves eating at the tables. Everyone had been nice to her today. Even though she had made a number of mistakes. She'd mixed up a sprite’s order and given him salted potatoes which made him ill. She'd put bacon bits in front of a fairy who was vegetarian. And she'd given a carnivorous troll a salad of flowers as the main course. But no one had complained. In fact, she'd already made double the tips from yesterday and she'd only been on the clock for an hour. Three more to go. The time ticked endlessly until three rays of sunshine filled the doorway.

Corun walked with Chryssie. Ilia was in front of them. Ilia spotted her and opened his arms wide.

Cardi stiffened for all of one minute before dropping the drink she was carrying and running into her brother's arms.

"What are you three doing here?"

"We came to see you at your new job," said Ilia. "We get the family discount now, right?"

Family. They were still her family.

Corun bussed her cheek. Then Chryssie wrapped her arms around her and squeezed. Cardi could feel the growing bump on her belly. She thought she might've even felt one of the whelps kick in greeting.
