Chapter 15

Zuri had decided to spend the day with Zeva since she had to go back to Chicago early the next morning. Especially since it seemed she was doing most of her work for Fairy Godmothers, Inc., with Phillip in the evening.

Anna and Jordan had easily adjusted to the hours. The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, was Alec. He kept asking her when they were going to talk, but she just didn’t have time.

She’d admit, it gave her a bit of a thrill to be the one telling him she just couldn’t get away. Not that she wanted to.

Zuri realized she had nothing to say to him and she didn’t owe it to him to let him speak. He could find closure in his own way. She just knew anything he had to say would be an attempt to push past her boundaries and weasel his way back in.

She wasn’t tempted; she didn’t want his excuses. So what was the point?

“You’re awfully quiet this afternoon, Zuri. Daydreaming about your hot nights?” Zeva teased as they walked around the manicured gardens of the castle.

Zuri’s cheeks warmed. “Actually, no. I was thinking about how I can’t wait to be done with this wedding so I don’t have to see Alec’s face anymore.”

“You’re not going to talk to him? Isn’t there anything you want to say to him?”

“I’ve had a chance to think about it, and no. I really don’t.” She waited on tenterhooks to see what her sister would say. If she’d argue with her.

“Good. I’m glad that you’re moving on.”

“It’s funny how that works. It seemed like life was at a standstill, and now everything is barreling at me a thousand miles an hour.”

“I know. Me too.”

“Did something happen?” Zuri asked.

“Something amazing. Petty found a way to take care of the kids. They’re all going to come to the castle. Phillip said they could stay. One of their godsons is a lawyer, and he’s going to take care of all the paperwork.” Zeva grabbed her hand. “How do you feel about being an aunt?”

“You’re adopting all the children?”

“Yes. And I’ve said yes to Fairy Godmother Academy.”

Zuri was stunned but happy. Zeva’s joy radiated from her, and it was infectious in the best way. Tears gathered in her eyes. “Oh my God, Zeva. That’s amazing. It looks like we both get to make magic in our own ways.”

“They don’t usually accept applicants my age, but since I’ve already adjusted to magic and because their numbers are so low, I’m in!”

“You’re going to change the world in a big way, just like you always wanted.”

“I’m probably not going to see Phillip again before I leave, since I’ll be headed out at dawn. So can you thank him for me?”

“Of course. If I get to see him. He wasn’t feeling well last night.”

“Wasn’t feeling well? Huh. I didn’t think anyone here got sick. Except frog pox.”

“Yeah, I didn’t, either. But that’s okay. Maybe it was a different kind of not feeling well.
