Chapter Sixteen

When we finally stumble out of the Nox’s den, I’m surprised to see it’s not only daylight but already breakfast time. There was no reception in the basement, and my phone starts buzzing wildly as soon as we’re outside. It’s my mother.

“Fuck,” I mumble. “I forgot about the MA luncheon today.”

Beatriz hears me. “It’s not until four this afternoon, you have time for a nap.”

“A nap?” Rafi shouts. “When we have the whole city at our fingertips?”

“You might have the whole city, cabró, but some of us have classes to attend,” Luisa says with a yawn, ruffling his hair.

She kisses us all goodbye and lingers long enough by my ear to whisper, “You’ll be OK.”

I pull her back by the hand. “Thank you,” I say, my fingers playing with hers. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”

She winks before walking away without a backward glance. No one seems to have noticed our exchange, but the sickness of confusion, hunger, and too much weed is now churning my guts like butter.

“How we got out of there without getting caught, I don’t know,” Beatriz says to Xavi, rubbing her red-rimmed eyes and staring up at the MA HQ building. “I’m sorry things got weird.”

She wraps her arms around his neck, and he nuzzles her nose with his. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he spins her around.

“Are you kidding me? I loved being part of your world, princesa. I got to speak to my abuelita. You have no idea how much I miss her. And there’s an afterlife, which means I will get to see her again one day!”

“No rush,” she says, and their light kisses turn to a passionate embrace.

Rafi stifles a laugh, and we turn away as we hear Xavi mumble something about how much magic Beatriz has brought to his life.

“I should get to bed,” I mutter. So much happened last night, I need to process it properly. If Mikayla is alive, then she’s out there. And if she was pregnant, as I’ve always suspected, then did she have the baby? Whose was it?

“Food first. Come on.” Rafi slings his arm around my shoulder. “I’m taking you to La Boqueria.”

“The food market?”

“How dare you! La Boqueria is the finest eatery in this city!”

“What about Beatriz and Xavi?”

“I’m sure she’ll find him some corpse to peck at on their way home.”

I play-slap him on the arm, and he laughs. With my head resting on his shoulder, we head down Las Ramblas.

“What’s the plan?” I ask, stifling a yawn.

“We’re going to visit every tapas joint in the place and we’re going to gorge on fat prawns and suck their brains out, slurp back oysters and get our mouths greasy with chunky slices of tortilla de patata. Then I’m going to hand-feed you succulent morcilla and fuet, washed down with gallons of Rioja. What do you say?”

“Don’t stop.” I give him an exaggerated pout of my lips. “Keep talking dirty to me.”

Rafi stops walking and pushes my hair out of my eyes, then gives me a lopsided smile.
