Chapter Ten

“Hey there.”

Morgan hesitated in the doorway and scrubbed her palm against the side of her head. It was strange, standing here in one of Jane’s long t-shirts and nothing else, while watching her make coffee. They used to do the morning-after thing in the old days, back when they were inseparable. She never imagined she would find herself here again. So many thoughts careened through her head that she wasn’t sure if she was supposed to feel nostalgic or relieved or warm and fuzzy.

Tired. That was definitely the main feeling as Morgan yawned and said, “Hey yourself.”

“I know you were never a big coffee drinker, but I made an entire pot in case you’ve changed.” Jane gestured to the old coffee maker, a cup already poured and sitting on the counter. It looked like the same one she’d had in 1975 and Morgan wondered if Jane had ever cleaned it. She had never seemed like the type to worry about those sorts of things, and Morgan cast a worried glance at Jane’s cup of coffee.

She would drink the occasional cup of coffee, but in this case she decided that was tempting fate. “I haven’t.”

The grimace on Jane’s face told Morgan she’d already figured that out, and then some. She was going to have to do some damage control, and fast.

“What I mean is, as far as coffee, no. Not generally. I still prefer tea.”

Jane nodded and picked a tea kettle up off the stove. She filled it with water from the sink and then set it on the burner. “Wouldn’t it have been cool if I got powers like yours, like how you can conjure food and stuff? All I can do is keep myself warm or cool, and wail about death.”

Even though Jane chuckled, Morgan wasn’t sure how she was supposed to respond. She sat in one of the mismatched wooden chairs at the small, round kitchen table. “It’s not like mine are much better, honestly. I can conjure natural things like, yes, food. I can call certain fae-created material things through space and time, and I can make coincidences happen so that my assignments align with their goals and destinies. But, beyond that and teleporting, there isn’t much else I can do.”

“Hey, I can teleport, too! That’s one of the few perks of being a banshee. Besides immortality, I mean.” Jane took a coffee cup out of one cabinet and a box of teabags out of another. “In a way, I help align people with their destinies, too.”

Morgan supposed Jane was right about that. There were few things more pre-destined than death. And it wasn’t like Jane was causing death. She was simply announcing its inevitability. Something Morgan couldn’t quite separate from the tangled thread of her thoughts wove its way through her mind, and she shook her head, not sure what to say.

The teakettle whistled, pulling her back into the moment, and she half-rose to take it off the burner.

“I’ve got it.” Jane poured the water and placed a teabag in the cup.
