They didn’t. Not in the slightest. Everyone congratulated Wylie, who lifted his arms like a boxing champion winning the title. Then he did a dance like a football player entering the end zone for the winning touchdown.

The rest of the night Wylie put on a show that the others ate up without ever once questioning it. They laughed at Wylie’s antics, which, at times, bordered on desperate.

There was one point when Fritjof had thought he was imagining things, but he knew, deep in his bones, he was right. Wylie was so determined that no one would ever know how sad he was, that he was willing to do anything.

He’d hoped after a good night’s sleep, he would be able to talk to Wylie, but Fritjof never got the chance. It was like that determination from the night before that no one see his true feelings had morphed into determination for him to master his newfound magic.

Fritjof could appreciate that, but there was still something off. He couldn’t quite put his finger on how he knew it, but after living as long as he had, Fritjof had learned to trust his instincts.

Wylie was… Fritjof shook his head as he watched Wylie do tricks with his ability. Currently, he was juggling a stick, a ball one of the kids had left outside, and his shoe. Yet, as those watching laughed, Wylie had a huge grin on his face, but even from where Fritjof stood against the side of the house, he could tell it wasn’t real.

That overwhelming sadness, defeat, and misery surrounded Wiley like a cloak that, for some reason, Fritjof seemed to be the only one who could see. That in itself was frustrating because if he was the only one who knew, how was he supposed to ask one of Wylie’s friends for help understanding him?

And he desperately wanted to help. He shouldn’t. Fritjof knew that. Getting any more involved with Wylie was only going to lead to heartache. So why was he still there, watching over Wylie? Why couldn’t he stay away?

The front door opened. Fritjof looked up to find Tess heading outside. She smiled when she saw Wylie’s juggling act that now also included Kegan, because he’d teased Wylie for only being able to juggle three things. Bryce’s new bike had also been added into the mix, but it not only was spinning around with the other things, Wylie had its pedals spinning so it looked like a ghost was riding it around in the circle, instead of Wylie just making it move with everything else.

But when those violet eyes landed on Wylie, Tess frowned. Without even looking his way, she walked straight over to Fritjof, yet didn’t take her gaze from her uncle. When she stopped next to Fritjof, she imitated his pose.

Back against the wall of the house. One foot bent so her foot was also resting on the log wall. Arms crossed over her chest. She was so damn cute, Fritjof found himself smiling for real for the first time since Wylie had found his magic the day before.
