Chapter Sixteen

Since Basha had kicked her out with nothing but what was on her back, the next morning, Nadia had to borrow a couple of items from Miles’s “lost and found” conquest box, which he’d assured her had all been washed and dried by his poor housekeeper—a woman Nadia had yet to see.

“I can’t believe you took a woman home who wore an ‘I Heart Georgia’ T-shirt,” Nadia grumbled as they walked east along River Street. Jack had parked up on the western side of the Hyatt Regency so the duo could approach their destination on foot. That way, they’d look less suspicious, and Jack would have time to prepare for his role in the rest of the plan, which would have him driving something a little less . . . wheely.

Miles grinned. “I can’t believe you wouldn’t wear it. What’s more incognito than a gift shop T-shirt? You’d fit right in as a tourist.”

“Standing next to you, I could wear a clown suit and I still wouldn’t stand out.” She gestured to the black jeans and muted greige sweatshirt that Miles had picked as his undercover getup. Sure, it was simple, but on him it looked runway fresh. Plus, he had those stupid sunglasses on again.

As for her, she’d gone with a pair of faded blue jeans—the super tight kind favored by her mother—and a plain white V-neck. Over the top, she had a wine-colored Art College zip-up sweater. The entire outfit had come from the cast-off box that she’d vowed never to speak of again. But at least the new ensemble made her feel a little fresher and would help her avoid immediate detection from the Wishmaster’s crew.

After last night, an easiness had developed between her and Miles that had still been there when they’d woken up—separately, of course. Nadia had worried it might be like the awkward first day back at work after an office Christmas party where too much festive spirit had been consumed and memories were a bit foggy. But that morning, he’d had a smile and a coffee waiting for her while jazz had floated through his fancy sound system. It wasn’t quite friendship, but perhaps “accomplices” was a fitting term, given the occasion.

“You still have the jar, the candles, and the lighter with you, right?” Nadia asked.

Miles patted the crossover bag across his chest. “Jar’s right in here, and I’ve got Pomegranate Noir, along with English Pear and Freesia. Oh, and Lime Basil and Mandarin. I thought a variety would be good.”

“You realize it doesn’t matter what it smells like? It doesn’t change the potency of the wish, though Pomegranate Noir sounds like it could do a fair bit of damage.” She should’ve known he’d bring ridiculous candles, but they’d do the trick if they had to make the wish straightaway to avoid it being stolen back in its unused form again.

Miles shrugged. “You never know, the perfect scent might be the key to wording the perfect wish.”

Nadia had given him the task
