Chapter Sixteen

By 6:30 p.m., Cheyenne had had enough. “Why won’t he give me a straight answer? Yes or no. How hard is that?”

Ember finished the last of the premade chicken casserole they’d had for dinner and set her plate on the coffee table. “Maybe ‘cause you’ve been texting him nonstop for the last four hours.”

“It hasn’t been four hours.” Cheyenne scrolled back through her texts to Persh’al and wrinkled her nose. “Okay, so I lost track of time.”

“You’re not making things any easier by annoying the crap out of him.”

“I’m the one annoying him?” The halfling snorted. “I don’t think so. If he’d quit giving me half-assed answers that don’t tell me anything, I’d stop asking.”

Her phone buzzed with a new text, and she opened it immediately.

‘We’re handling it. Positive results. I’m trying to work, so leave me alone.’

“What’s it say?”

Cheyenne tossed her phone into her lap and thumped her head back on the cushion of the fully extended recliner. “That he thinks he’s better than me ‘cause he has a warehouse in DC and knows how to track magical frequencies.”

Ember barked out a laugh. “That was not what he said.”

“You don’t know.”

“Okay. Give me your phone.”

“What? No. I need it.”

Holding out her hand, Ember waved for the halfling to cough it up. “Not right now. If it rings, you’ll hear it, but you need to get your head out of Persh’al’s ass and try to think about something else.”

Cheyenne blinked at her. “Did you just tell me to—”

“Yep. Come on.”

“No.”

“Cheyenne, give me the damn phone. ‘Cause I’m tired of you texting him all the time.”

The halfling laughed and shook her head. “Thanks, Mom, but if I want to annoy the troll, that’s my choice.”

Ember rolled her eyes and pointed at the cell phone. It lit up with violet light and darted into her outstretched hand.

“Whoa, hey! Not cool.”

“Agreed.”

“Ember.”

The fae girl slipped the phone between her knees and pointed at it. “See? I’m not gonna go through your stuff.”

“Oh, yeah. That was my main concern, that you might find something I didn’t want you to see.”

“Whatever. It’s here. You need to quit obsessing.”

Cheyenne stared at her phone, her lower jaw working. “You realize I have magic too, right?”

“Yep. Which you haven’t even tried to use, so I’m thinking you wanted someone to take your phone. It’s okay, you don’t have to thank me. Being your best friend is a full-time job.”

Closing her eyes, Cheyenne snorted a laugh. “I don’t have anything to say to that.”

“You’re welcome.”

The halfling tried to pay attention to their third movie in a row but couldn’t get into it. “I don’t get how so many people can spend all day watching stuff like this. Don’t you get bored?”

“Nope.” Ember snapped her fingers. “I’d love some popcorn, though.”

“You put popcorn on the grocery list?”

“Duh. Only a giant family-size bag, but it’s popcorn, and it gets rid of all the work involved in popping it myself.”

“Yes. Sticking a bag in a microwave is such a complicated process. It takes real skill.
