Chapter Nine

I tried to be extra quiet sneaking off to the washroom. We’d ended up back at Margo’s house, and I didn’t want to wake anyone. The darkness lasted longer now, and I returned to the bedroom to get dressed.

“Going to try and sneak me out?” Mason asked.

I laughed. “Please, it’s all over the village by now. Margo is always cooking for us. I want to make her breakfast.”

“I can help. You don’t seem that domestic,” Mason said.

“I have magic,” I countered.

“Magic isn’t the answer to everything,” he argued.

“But this is nice magic. Good magic… Pancake magic,” I replied.

Tossing on clothes, I searched for my hair tie.

“Pancakes?” he asked.

I found my hair tie, along with my phone, on the floor. I brushed my hair and fixed it in a ponytail before checking messages.

“Nothing from Zel or Green. I swear, I’m ready to quit law enforcement and go rogue. Come on, pancakes.” I grabbed the blanket and tugged it off of him.

“We have no more leads. We could just sleep in.” He got up grudgingly.

“And right there, you have just jinxed our day off. Now someone will call or your mother will decide to torture me,” I predicted.

“Considering how many bridges you’re burning, she has the rest of her life to torture you. Mom plays the long game,” he teased.

“This is starting to feel more like home.” I tugged on socks. “Okay, time to magically cook.”

I headed downstairs as he got dressed. Setting the table, I magically conjured pancakes, bacon, and syrup.

Mason was down in a moment, and he started coffee the human way.

“I heard Margo moving around. I told her breakfast was ready. You really went straight magic,” he said.

I shrugged. “Saves on the cleanup too.”

Margo puttered down. “Well, isn’t this nice?”

“Hope you like pancakes,” I said.

“I do. And you did it without touching a bowl.” Margo nodded. “Magic practice is good, but you don’t want to get too lazy.”

“Thanks, Mom,” I teased.

We sat down as the coffee brewed and began eating.

“The Fae are gone?” Margo asked.

I nodded with my mouth full. “Changelings.”

“Shame. They can’t seem to resist using their powers to benefit themselves and to the detriment of humans.” Margo went over and grabbed the coffee just as the cycle ended.

Mason got the mugs, and she poured.

“Thanks,” I said.

“Don’t let your magic go to your head,” Margo said.

I nodded. “I’m sure you and Mason will keep that from happening.”

“I hope so. Everyone will talk about you two,” she fussed.

“Don’t tell me the village is that old fashioned?” I asked.

Mason shrugged. “More like we’re not being overly discrete, but you’re also not one of us.”

“Do they want another Thunderbird?” I asked.

Mason and Margo rolled their eyes at me.

“It’s about respect, not gifts or powers. But you’re not sleeping around the village, and you’ve known Mason for a long time. This is how things were meant to be. It took time, but you didn’t rush things early or write each other off. It’s good,” she said.

“Tell his mom that, please,” I said.
