Mercy

Once we got back to my apartment, I waited for Rafael to start asking questions.

None ever came.

I chucked my gear onto my bed and stormed around the place for a long while, muttering under my breath about Rufus and Bowen being idiots.

We should be searching for Sector 1462. We should be attempting to find the meeting place, so we could stop whatever Liam and Envy planned to do that night. I didn’t care what they said about not having proof Liam was meeting Envy. Every instinct I had screamed that I needed to be there to stop whatever bad shit was going to happen. Why else would a mage be going to a secret sector location unless it was to perform some highly illegal magic? By my estimation, we had less than a week to figure it out. That wasn’t nearly enough time.

The TV turned on, and I swiveled to find Rafael on the couch, flipping through channels. He waved me over.

I frowned.

“Come on, you’re pissed off. Not much you can do right now anyway. Let yourself calm down.”

“We’re wasting time.”

“Can’t do anything without those pages anyway.”

I made no move to join him.

He heaved a sigh. “Look, I get you’re angry at them for holding you back, but there’s nothing you can do about it right now. Give yourself a break.”

I wanted to stay furious at Bowen and Rufus, but then Rafael patted the cushion by him again, raising his brow and grinning.

Bit by bit, my anger slipped away, and I broke out in a smile. “Fine, but just tonight.”

“Just tonight,” he agreed.

I plopped down on the couch beside him, leaving some space between us. He flipped through the channels until he came across some cheesy vampire movie.

I rolled my eyes, but he shrugged and rested back into the couch. I did the same, forcing myself to relax for a while and not let the heaviness of Shuval’s plans weigh me down. The movie was so over the top it was comical, and before long, we were laughing so hard there were tears coming to my eyes, and he was struggling to breathe.

When it was over, another corny black and white about zombies came on, and we started watching that one, too. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a night like this.

Gigi and I never found the time to have a girls’ night in. We were both so busy most of the time. I figured I should call her at some point and update her on the situation. Actually, I should’ve already called her. She might’ve been able to give Rafael his memories back.

“Mercy?” he asked, and paused the movie.

“Huh?”

“You got that look on your face that says you’re overthinking something. You’re supposed to be relaxing.”

“Sorry, just remembered I have a friend who’s a witch. She might be able to help you.”

“No.”

“No? Don’t you want to remember?” I mentally kicked myself for even bringing it up.

If he remembered now, I’d lose my chance to see where this could go with us.
