Safe beneath the heater on the deck, I watch Emil and Tobias.

An hour later, Sophia comes out with a cup of coffee. Alerting to the waking of the imps, I rush back inside to claim my shower before they take up the bathroom for hours.

When I come back down, I find Emil and Tobias casually cuddling under a blanket on my floral sofa while the flames in the fireplace rage full force.

The sight fills me with longing. I want to crawl in there with them and share in the bonding. But Emil needs Tobias more than he needs me right now.

Kellen is nowhere in sight, but I hear the pipes groaning from the stairwell that leads to his and Tobias’s rooms, alerting me to my storm demon’s location. I lean over and press a kiss to Tobias’s hot cheek and Emil’s cold one, then leave them to whatever coping methods they can use while I join my imps and Sophia in the kitchen.

Only, the imps are gone when I enter, with only Sophia remaining, hunched over a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. Another plate sits on the counter beside her, covered by a metal dome.

I have no idea where the dome came from. It looks ancient, and possibly made of real silver, so likely one of the imps excavated it from Emil’s hoard in the basement. When I lift it, I find more eggs and bacon, as well as toast and hash browns.

“Fuel up,” Sophia instructs around a mouthful.

My stomach rumbles, and I settle on the stool beside her. “Where are the imps?”

“They went home to do some laundry and do imp things.” She scoops a pile of eggs onto her fork, then glances at her cell phone on the counter at her elbow. “Hurry up. Tally will be here soon.”

My brows pinch together in confusion. “Why is Tally coming here?”

Sophia lifts a piece of bacon and eyes it the same way she would a randy frat boy ready to give up all his energy for a night of fun. “We’re going shopping.”

My frown deepens. “I’m not in the mood to look at dresses. Besides, with everything going on—”

“We’re not going dress shopping,” she cuts in before snapping off the top of her bacon with her teeth. She groans and wiggles on her stool before her green eyes flash over to me. “You need to relax. There’s so much tension right now that you need something normal to focus on, even if it’s only for a couple hours.”

I don’t want to leave the guys, but there’s nothing to be done sitting here, watching Emil slowly freeze over. Maybe getting out of the house will help distract my mind enough to come up with a solution. “What are we shopping for, if it’s not for clothes?”

Sophia winks. “That’s a surprise. Now, hurry up and eat.”

Resigned to leaving the house, I grab my fork.
