Chapter 6

Connor felt nervous. For a twenty-five-year-old rock guitarist from a locally popular band, he quite lacked experience in dating. Most people believed he had slept with every girl in the town. In truth, his ex had been the only girl that he ever dated. And, well, now there was Thea. He wasn't sure if it qualified as dating, but since that first unexpected phone sex experience, they had had a few more unplanned accidental moments of intimacy. And now, she was on her way to meeting him. All this time she lived just an hour away from him.

He had done everything to be up and out of this wheelchair as he came to the train station to pick her up. During those three weeks since he first asked her to meet, he had trained intensively to be able to stand on his own two legs - well, with the help of his forearm crutches. But those were tolerable. If things went well, they could meet more often. And when he was back on his bike... Would he really be back on his bike? Once he was back on the bike, Connor thought stubbornly, it would become so much easier to meet each other.

The train was to arrive any moment now. He kept on checking the time on his phone. Grandpa had called already three times. Connor was starting two down who was more impatient to meet Thea - he or his grandpa.

Deep in his heart, Connor had this strong feeling that everything was finally starting to get normal. The feeling terrified him, but maybe Grandpa had been right after all. Maybe he indeed had to find his special witch to overcome all the troubles that had come his way. The most amazing thing about his recovery was that Connor had started writing songs again. It had been so long since he last felt the need, the irresistible urge to pick his guitar and work on some new music or lyrics until the calluses on his fingers started to bleed.

His music seemed slightly darker, heavier, but closer to the true roots of his inspiration. As if the chains that had been holding him away from those roots were crashed and he had all the freedom to dive into the endless well of inspiration.

Connor wanted to bring the guitar with him and play a few songs that had been fueled by the passion toward her right there at the railway station. Still, carrying both the guitar and himself was still quite a challenge and he had refused Grandpa's offer to give him a ride. He needed this moment on his own.

Distracted with all those messy thoughts, he did not realize that the train had arrived and she stepped out of it. Anthea. She waved at him and Connor's heart almost burst out of his chest. She looked exactly as he expected her to be—so petite compared to his strong built. She had deep, dark eyes and messy copper curls that caught the light of the sun and shined like a halo around her head.
