After the incident with Branwen, they moved back upstairs and, behind his locked bedroom door, spent the rest of the day and most of the night talking, cuddling, and shagging. She hadn’t eaten, both because she had no appetite and because she didn’t want to waste a single moment of their last precious hours together on something as trivial as food. It now was close to midnight and she was dressing to go home while he lay on the bed, eyes solemn and on her.

Grief’s cold, gnarled hand squeezed her heart as she pulled on her jeans. The thought of losing him, of walking away, was suffocating. She sucked in a breath, filling her lungs with air and her heart with resolve. She refused to accept defeat. There was a way for them to be together. There just had to be. She simply needed more time to figure out what it might be.

She’d forwarded every argument she could think of and he remained steadfastly opposed to turning her. Still, she wasn’t ready to give up quite yet. She could not accept the goddess had brought them together time and again only to break their hearts. Because that would be cruel. And what about the Ten of Cups? The cards had promised a happy ending to their story and this sure as hell didn’t qualify. And he’d drawn The Fool. She mustn’t forget that wrinkle. She couldn’t mention it, of course, because she’d obtained that intelligence in an underhanded way, but still. The Fool was the first and last in the deck. The alpha and the omega. Zero and infinity. The Fool advised a leap of faith. And Graham yet stood on the edge of the precipice, heels dug in.

She needed to come up with a way to push him over the edge. But how? Only minutes remained in the game. She’d promised to break the spell at midnight. The second she released him, he’d be off to Scotland never to be seen again. Should she maybe keep him spellbound a little longer?

She crossed to the desk chair where she’d hung her blouse. As she pulled it on, her gaze skipped over his laptop and journals, guilt turning in her gut like a screw. She’d already betrayed his trust. He didn’t know it, but she did. And to keep him spellbound after she’d promised to free him...well, it was simply out of the question. She’d destroy his trust. And how could they be happy together without trust?

So, she had to free him. Had to. But to break the spell, she needed her altar, so she'd have to go home. That would be that. He’d be out of her life forever. Plus, she’d have to deal with Avery. She was in no mood for a confrontation right now, but neither would she let that backstabber get away with what she’d done.

Her thoughts darkened as she buttoned her blouse, keeping her back to him. Maybe she’d get lucky and Avery wouldn’t be home.
