I wished for a happily ever after when I was eight. Instead I got you people. I think that’s the universe’s way of telling me that it has a sense of humor, because if I don’t look at this family and laugh I’ll start crying. I may never stop.

“Where do you think that little ferret went?”

Landon remained close to me – almost uncomfortably so, frankly – as we searched the town for Nelson. We thought he would be easy to find, but he managed to disappear while we were distracted. Thistle took off to gather Marcus to continue the search, and Landon called Chief Terry so he would be on the lookout. Until someone spotted him, though, we were on our own.

“I don’t know,” I answered, slowly scanning the library for signs of a hiding teenager. “He seemed adamant that he wasn’t going to take the wish back. I feel a little sorry for him.”

Landon’s eyebrow winged up. “Sorry? Bay, do you realize what he was trying to do with that wish?”

“Yeah, he wanted to get me as a girlfriend.” I was oddly flattered that Nelson cared enough to do that. “He’s kind of sweet, although completely mental.”

“Bay!” Landon was exasperated. “He’s a teenage boy. I need you to think really hard. What do you think he wanted to do with you if his wish came true?”

I knew exactly what Landon was getting at, and I didn’t appreciate it. “Do you really think I would do that?”

“He didn’t want to give you a choice.”

“He tossed a coin in a wishing well and made one of those wishes people make that they know won’t ever come true,” I countered, my patience wearing thin. “It’s no different from when Mom let me toss a coin in the fountain at the mall when I was a kid and I wished for a handsome prince to live with happily ever after.”

Landon thumped his chest and flashed an impish grin. “You eventually got him, didn’t you?”

My smile was rueful as I shook my head, leading Landon toward the back bookshelves so we could individually search them to be sure. “I did get my prince, but – no offense to you – this wasn’t what I pictured when I was five and tossing coins.”

Landon stilled as he stared. “What did you picture?”

“Well, do you have a castle, a footman, a sword and a crown to give me?”

The corners of Landon’s mouth tipped up. “I could probably make some of that happen.”

I snorted at his dirty mind. “You dream about different things when you’re a kid,” I informed him. “I don’t want the same things now that I wanted then. When I was five that footman was a big deal. Now I just want a guy who will give me a foot massage without complaint.”

“Are you sure that’s all that you want?”

He seemed earnest, so I took the time to stop searching and reassure him.
