We grabbed two pizzas and some beer. Such a typical college student thing to do and Noah had laughed when I reminded him of that.

“This is so ridiculously good,” I said through a large bite of spinach alfredo pizza. The cheese dripped over my chin slowly, but I didn’t care. I hadn’t really eaten much all day.

Through his smile, Noah stuffed his face just as quickly as I had. “You know, I didn’t think this would taste as good as it does.”

“Wait,” I stopped him. “You’ve never had pizza before?” He shook his head. “Wow. We have a lot of catching up to do.” The way Noah stared back at me caused my cheeks to blush. I could feel it, but I tried not to be embarrassed.

As we sat at the kitchen bar stools, eating pizza and drinking beer, I thought about how much I wanted to do this every night of my life. I didn’t get nauseous this time after raising the suspect…and that made two instances where Noah’s presence had lessoned the after effects of using my magic. The scar had appeared on our drive home, but again, the intensity of the mark was far less than normal. When I stole a moment to use the bathroom, I took a quick peek at it. Located just below my right shoulder blade, the distinct outline of a noose had graced me with its presence. If my memory was correct, the Dan River killer had strangled his victims in various ways…

Noah was washing the plates and I was cleaning up the mess when a pile of money suddenly appeared on the kitchen island. “Um…Noah?”

He turned and saw where I was looking. With a raised brow and somewhat suspicious gait, he walked closer. “Where did this come from?” he asked.

“Don’t know. It just appeared out of thin air.”

“When?”

“Right now!”

Noah leaned in closer, I stayed next to the trash can. “There’s a note on it.” He grabbed the envelope and then looked up at me, smiling. “It’s for you.”

“Me?” When he nodded, I reached for the letter. “Okay…” I said as I looked at the perfect calligraphy written with bright red ink on thick white parchment. “Should I open it?” I asked Noah.

“Of course.”

At his encouragement, I did. “It’s from Rome. He said he just wanted to thank me again and hoped this would help.”

Noah was counting the money, laying it out in piles. “There’s two thousand dollars here.”

“What?” I jumped to his side and grabbed one of the clumps of hundred dollar bills. “How did he…? Where did this come from?”

Noah lifted my hand clenched around the money and kissed it. “Rome is very good with money. And he has a lot of it,” Noah added.

“Well, this is too much. I can’t take it.” I set the money back down and stacked it in a nice, organized mound.

“Have you ever been around an Imp before?” Noah had turned, still drying a dish but now focusing on me.

I tilted my head in thought.
