Chapter Nineteen

Tegan

“Okay, mystery man,” I said with a playful giggle as I walked down my driveway. “What did you have in mind?”

Tennessee leaned back on his heels with his hands shoved in his front pockets. He grinned. “Something you asked me the other day.”

He was the picture of ease and comfort in light wash, slim-fitting jeans hanging low on his hips. In the darkness of my room, I hadn’t realized his shirt was green. But out on my driveway, under the lamps and moonlight, it almost made both eyes look green. This was a whole new look for him, at least that I’d seen. Only his black, worn-out combat boots remained the same.

I smiled. “Honesty hour… That man-bun is doing weird things to me.”

He arched one eyebrow. “Good weird?”

I chuckled and nodded. “Very.” My cheeks filled with heat. What did I just admit?

“Well, then, I’ll have to keep that in mind.” He laughed. Then he did something I wasn’t expecting… He pulled his pendulum out of his pocket. “Want to try?”

I gasped and froze mid-step. I had asked to try using it. “Don’t tease me.”

He shook his head and looked down at the blue crystal, still laughing. Our conversation in my room had been deep, more so than I thought he’d ever let me get. The pain in his eyes had almost broken me, because it meant the hurt was even worse inside him. How much could one person take without losing themselves to misery? I didn’t know, but I made a promise to myself to do whatever I could to prevent him from suffering any more.

Seeing him smile and laugh made my own fears subside a little.

“Well, let’s try. I have to ask George first.” He held the pendulum up in the air and took a deep breath. “Hello, George. Would you mind giving us your time this evening?”

Purple mist billowed out of the stone, then swirled around.

Tennessee smiled. “Thanks for joining us. Do you know who Tegan is?”

The crystal swung toward me then back to Tennessee. By now, I’d learned this motion meant yes.

“Do you know that she’s the High Priestess?”

The crystal continued in the same direction, but wider and faster. YES.

“Do you know if she’ll be able to use you?”

I bit my lip and watched the stone. The crystal’s swing morphed into a clockwise circle.

I frowned. “What does that mean?”

“It means ‘I don’t know,’ though I sometimes think it’s being sassy with me.” Tennessee winked at me, then returned his attention to the pendulum. “George, may Tegan try to use you?”

Instantly, the pendulum switched back to swinging to and from me and Tennessee.

I bounced on my toes and clapped my hands. YES. “I am so excited.”

“Here you go. You know how to use it, right?”

I nodded and took the thin chain from Tennessee’s fingers. Electricity shot up my arm when our skin touched, but I forced myself to ignore it. I finally had his pendulum, the one he’d found during a quest from the Goddess. The one no one else could use.
