CHAPTER 2

I looked at my phone as I opened the door. My boss, Kalen, knew I was going to be late, but he probably didn’t expect me to be this late.

“Sorry, I was locked in an interrogation room,” I blurted as I walked into the office. I halted when I saw Blu sitting on the desk leaning into the screen that he’d turned in her direction. His coffee cup was on the table; hers was in her hand. Smiling, Midwest Barbie and Ken were both dressed like they were ready for a photo shoot. As usual, he was in a suit. Midnight blue slim fit, white shirt with the first button undone. She had on silver heels, a long, pink hooded cardigan paired with a little white shirt, and slinky black pants that hugged her curves. Pink gloss accented her supple lips and complemented her walnut-colored skin. Thick liner rimmed her eyes, and mascara created a lush veil of lashes. Corkscrew ringlets of dark brown hair tipped with blue blended well with her ensemble.

Kalen shifted his gaze from the screen to me, and his silver eyes narrowed to slits. “She’s what I’m talking about,” he mumbled to Blu, the witch who had not used a spell to enchant him, but her smart fashion sense, which was the surest way to his heart.

She flashed a genial smile as they both gave me the same assessing look, starting with my green Converse sneakers, moving to my jeans, and going on to the light green tee I had under my multicolored plaid shirt.

Oh, look, now there’s two of them.

Blu kept smiling as she hopped off the table. I liked her, mostly because since she’d come into our lives Kalen hadn’t bothered asking me to go to whatever designer was having a show that I didn’t give a damn about. Blu loved them. When we found antiquities that she could use, she was given a discount—but it came out of Kalen’s half because I hadn’t agreed to give her the pretty-fashionista price. She always bartered something for them. Usually she’d make herba terrae, the witches’ version of pot, and pseudo-magic protection amulets that did a fireworks presentation for show when the right magical word was said. Humans really loved both, and they were easy sells in the shop.

“So what weird game were you and your boyfriend playing, and why did it involve an interrogation room?” Kalen asked, taking his focus off Blu, who was now leaving. He waved at her as she ducked out the door. Again giving me a derisive once-over, he lifted his finger, and I glared at him.

“If you change anything I’m wearing, the pigtails come back to stay.”

He shuddered, affronted at the very thought of the hairstyle. That was probably why I used it as a threat so often.

“You and Gareth were playing your little games, and then he did . . .”

I took up roughly the same position Blu had held just moments before, but instead I crossed my legs as I explained everything that had happened over the past three days.
