Sixteen

I had already wrapped and hidden away the coin by the time Jack entered my room. He was like a ninja, stealthy feet and quiet breathing. He looked surprised when he found me sitting up in bed with my laptop.

“Why aren’t you asleep?” His tone was accusatory.

I shrugged. It wasn’t as if I could tell him about my visitor. He would think I was hallucinating and insist on taking me to the hospital. That was the last thing I wanted. “I’m feeling a little better.” That was true. The second I wrapped the coin in a pair of silk boxers that I often slept in and hid it in my suitcase the nausea evaporated. “I decided to do some research.”

“On what?”

“Hoodoo.”

“Why?”

“Because New Orleans is a melting pot of religions and beliefs. So is hoodoo ... and voodoo, for that matter. I just thought I might as well do something useful if I’m going to be stuck in bed.”

“You could sleep,” he suggested.

“I’m not tired.” In fact, I was feeling energized since hiding the coin away. Plus, Harley’s appearance had my mind working at a fantastic rate. “I’m fine, Jack. I really am feeling better.”

“Yeah?” He kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed next to me. “If that’s true, go in the bathroom and brush your teeth.”

I was caught off guard. “Why?”

“Because I want to kiss you and can’t until you brush your teeth. You’ve been throwing up.”

“Ah.” His response made me smile. “I guess I can do that.”

“I’ll make it worth your while.”

“I’m sure you will.”
