Her heart raced. She didn’t know if it was because she was on her way to break into her ex’s new place or if it was the way Casey looked at her. His hands tightened around hers. She thought he would pull her into a kiss like the one they shared not too long ago.

Instead, he stifled a groan, shook his head, and said, “You’re not breaking into anyone’s house tonight.”

Her jaw dropped. “Trevor isn’t going to give my ring back!”

Casey held up his free hand to stop her. “I’ll do it. If I run into him, I’ll lock him in a closet until I’m done looking for the ring. Just tell me what it looks like.”

As she led Casey the rest of the way to Trevor’s new place, she described her grandfather’s ring, from the design on the signet’s surface to the kind of chain she kept it on. She mentioned that she was afraid Trevor might have pawned it out of spite, but Casey assured her that if he did, they would scour every pawn shop in the county until they found it.

She wanted to throw her arms around him and hug him tight, but they’d reached Trevor’s place. His car wasn’t outside, but that didn’t mean much. Evangeline knew how it was constantly in and out of the shop. A rusted SUV sat in the driveway. She chewed the inside of her cheek and debated giving up on the mission.

The plan had been to imbue themselves with liquid courage and then have Nellie cast a spell over the house to make it an easy in and out situation, but after the fight, Nellie hightailed it out of the bar. Without Nellie’s magic, the plan had been halted.

Evangeline had watched the fight between Casey and his friend. Never before had it been more apparent that they weren’t normal. She’d seen the handprint seared into their table. Whatever they were, she’d been confident that Casey could walk into Trevor’s house and come out unscathed.

Until now. Fear got the best of her. She grimaced and turned around, ready to give up.

But Casey marched forward. She hissed at him, trying to get him to stop, but he approached the front door and knocked.

Evangeline covered her mouth with both hands, adrenaline making her blood run cold, but a minute passed, and Casey just turned toward her and shrugged. He motioned for her to hide while he went to the front window to peer inside.

She dropped behind a nearby bush and strained to listen to what Casey was doing. She thought she would hear the sound of glass breaking as he forced his way inside, but only silence reached her ears.

Then, light filtered in through the bush she’d hidden behind. Peering out from behind the foliage, she saw that a car had turned onto the street, headlights bobbing as the it hit bumps. She gasped and held her breath. Maybe it was someone else coming home late. Trevor wasn’t the only person that lived on this street, but the car slowed and pulled into Trevor’s driveway.
