The villagers showed no signs of bringing the celebration to an end by the time Lily and Romeo were ready to turn in for the night. No one pleaded with them to stay or tried to stop them, and with a few goodnights to those they passed, they headed off to the Winnie and bed.

“So we’ve stumbled onto…what? Four parties now since we left Charleston?” He sat on the edge of the bed and kicked his shoes off. “It’s totally different when one is actually thrown for us. Honestly, it kinda makes me a little antsy.”

She laughed and hauled the bulky sweatshirt over her head before she shoved it back into the bottom drawer. “Well, at least you looked like you were having a good time.”

“I was. But it…it feels weird to be thanked so much like that for doing something any good person with a sliver of a moral compass would do.”

That made her pause and she turned to look at him. “I don’t know if most good people would’ve been able to find those kids in the back of a broken-down van. Stopping to help someone with car trouble’s one thing.” She frowned. “Getting physically involved to stop a kidnapping is totally something else. Honestly, if you weren’t with me on this whole treasure-hunt thing, I probably wouldn’t have pulled over. And I definitely wouldn’t have known there were two kid witches hiding in the back.”

“I didn’t know that, either.” When he reached for her, she stepped toward him to stand between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her and tipped his head back to meet her gaze. “I only smelled the magic. And you were there to back me up.”

“That’s what I mean, though. I wouldn’t have picked up on the magic part. You did.” She ran her fingers through his hair. “Not every magical with good intentions has a werewolf with them who digs deeper into a sketchy situation.” She chuckled. “You’re always telling me not to be so hard on myself and not to take all the credit for whatever might go wrong. I think this time you should give yourself more credit. Seriously, you even brought props with you.”

He wrinkled his nose with a wary laugh. “What?”

“Your bag of tools.” Closing his eyes, he shook his head. “Don’t start telling yourself now that you don’t deserve a party being thrown for you. Even if it makes you feel a little antsy.”

With a sigh, he slid his hands onto her hips and pulled her into his lap. “Okay, I definitely didn’t expect you to throw my own pep-talk style back at me.”

Lily laughed and draped her arms around his neck. “I’ve had more than enough time to learn how. Plus, I think it’s important to take the pep talks and the optimism where we can get them right now.”

His smile faded a little as he studied her. “Now would be the part where you tell me what’s bothering you.”

“I guess it is, huh?” She slid away from him and onto the bed and crossed her legs in front of her.
