Chapter 12

All seven of us stood in the back storage room of the magic shop. The cramped space held layers of dust, and dust motes flew in the air. A single light illuminated the room, casting shadows into the corners. Shelves lined with boxes took up most of the space.

While it was crowded, it also felt secure: only two exit doors and no windows. Logan seemed happy about that.

Jake and Brodie had returned a few hours after we’d arrived in our latest small town, their expressions grim. Apparently, my stalker had covered his tracks. No one had seen him, and the rest stop didn’t have security cameras.

Logan had scowled, cursing quietly when they divulged that information, but the magic shop’s owner, a man named Peter, was none the wiser about my terrifying morning. He grinned as he showed us around.

“It’s truly a pleasure to have you here!” Peter wore thick glasses that rested on his bulbous red nose. He hadn’t stopped grinning since we’d arrived, following me around like an eager puppy as I surveyed our workspace. “My wife couldn’t believe it when I told her I booked a real magician.”

I stifled a sneeze and gave him a smile. “I’m not sure I’d call myself a magician.” I swallowed a cough from the dust, and even though I was trying my best to act normal around Peter, my nerves still felt fried from the morning.

“But what else would you call it?” Peter laughed. “You’re the real deal, not like most I see.” He hunkered closer and said in a conspiring tone, “We have a few in the area who fancy themselves professionals, but I can assure you they’re not.” He laughed, his large belly moving up and down with each inhalation.

I bit back a genuine smile despite a steady thrum of nervousness going through me. We only had thirty minutes before Lucy was due to arrive, and nothing was set up.

As if sensing my distress, Brodie clapped Peter on the shoulder. “She’s a supernatural healer extraordinaire, a very coveted title, one that takes years of study to earn.” He steered the owner away, going on about some made-up magic school I’d attended.

Peter soaked up every word, his grin broadening with each step they took. Brodie shut the door to the front of the shop firmly behind him, dimming the morning sunshine that streamed in through the shop’s front windows.

Logan stepped to my side, his dark eyes fixed on my mouth. I’d pulled my lip between my teeth to nibble. My tongue darted out to lick my lips as I became acutely aware of how close he stood.

He abruptly straightened and shifted his gaze. “Why don’t you let us set up? Take some time to get ready. We’ll have this place good to go in no time. Just stay in here so I know where you are.”

Before I could protest that I could help, too, Logan addressed Alexander and Jake. “Boys? Let’s get a move on.”

All of them seemed tenser, as if realizing that my stalker really did pose a threat.
