CHAPTER 14

Having a warlock in my house, my safe haven, was anathema to everything I believed in. Jacob had offered his hotel room or grabbing an early dinner while we talked, but I wanted to be surrounded by familiar things in a familiar place where I’ve never once been made to feel ashamed of who and what I am.

That is not to say I did not harbor second thoughts about bringing this man that I was only starting to know into my house. There was a barely perceptible tremble in my hand as I hesitated to unlock the front door to the cottage. Again, Jacob offered to take us somewhere else that was a neutral space or to talk outside, sitting on the porch swing swaying in the gentle breeze off to the side of the cottage.

“It’s okay, we can do it here…or maybe in the greenhouse.” What place was better to bear your most shameful non-secret secret than surrounded by flowers and herbs with calming and relaxation properties?

I’d sent a text to my sister explaining what happened and she’d replied, but I did not have the strength nor the desire to read about what happened after we left. Or worse, get an apology from my family for not using their magic to protect me.

Mostly with flowers and tons of books stacked on every available surface. A vase of lilacs sat at the center of my bean-shaped coffee table, its dried petals littering the table and carpet. I’d need to switch them out for fresh flowers soon. On the island counter in the kitchen were bright yellow sunflower blooms I’d bought from the florist. Two potted ferns were placed on either side of the TV mantle and there were a bunch of paintings and photos decorating the walls. My couches were a mismatched set that I’d bought secondhand, and a chair had a pile of clean laundry I’d been meaning to fold up. The floors were a checkered pattern of mahogany brown and amber that contrasted with the cream white of the kitchen cabinets that brightened up the place when the morning sun came in through the kitchen windows. Strings of crystals dangled from the curtain rods. You couldn’t see it now, but when the sun was out,
