Magnus

Whenever Vivian got that faraway look in her eyes, Magnus knew that she was communicating with Ella. So, when she gasped and her hand flew to her chest, he knew something was up.

He waited as patiently as he could until she was done and her eyes refocused on him. “What happened? Is Ella all right?”

“She is in the clinic.” Vivian pushed to her feet and motioned for him to follow. “This morning she woke up with a fever, and when she tried to stand up she got dizzy and collapsed, but Julian caught her before she hit the floor.” Vivian hurried into the closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. “He carried her to the clinic, and Bridget hooked her up to the monitors.” She glanced at him. “You should get dressed. We are going.”

He nodded and grabbed a pair of slacks off the hanger. “I need to wake Parker up and tell him to take Scarlet out.” He shrugged his house robe off and pulled on his pants.

Vivian waved a dismissive hand. “Just let her out in the back yard. It will take him forever to drag himself out of bed, and by the time he does she is going to pee on the carpet.”

He chuckled. “As usual, you are right.”

Magnus finished getting dressed, pushed his feet into a pair of loafers, and went to the living room to let the dog out. “Sorry, girl, but we have an emergency, and I can’t take you out.”

As if understanding what he was telling her, Scarlet lifted a pair of worried eyes to him.

“It’s going to be okay.” He slid the patio doors open. “Ella is a healthy young woman and she is going to be fine.” He wasn’t sure whether he was reassuring Scarlet or himself.

Next, he opened Parker’s door and poked his head inside. “Parker, buddy, you need to wake up. Ella is in the clinic and your mother and I are going there. Scarlet is in the backyard and you need to let her in once she is done.”

For a long moment, it seemed like Parker hadn’t heard him, but just as Magnus was about to walk in and shake him awake, the kid sat bolt upright in bed. “What happened to Ella? Is she transitioning? I thought I was dreaming, but then I smelled your cologne, and I never dream about smells.”

“We don’t know yet. She might have come down with a cold or the flu.”

“Can I come too?”

“Sure. But you need to get dressed and take care of Scarlet. You can come later. There is no reason to hurry. Those things take time.”

“Okay.” Parker rubbed his eyes. “Tell her that I’m on my way.”

“I will.”

As he walked back into the living room, Magnus was surprised that Vivian wasn’t waiting for him by the door. She’d seemed in such a rush to get to Ella that he doubted she’d stopped to apply makeup.

But who knew? Women were strange creatures.

Magnus headed back to the bedroom to check for her, but she wasn’t there.
