Nessa walked into Devin’s new house and still was in awe of it. She couldn’t believe how he was able to make it sidhe-like, but not. It was more Devin-like than anything: a mixture of sidhe and day human worlds. He had done such a great job, and yet had no clue about the powers within him. Nessa couldn’t wait to see what things would be like in ten years after he had done this much in just over a week in her village. Her grandfather was right—the sidhe needed to change. Observing the room she was sitting in while waiting for Devin to return was just the emphasis she needed to see that her grandfather once again knew what he was doing.

Ronan was lounging on the couch, obviously bored at his job of watching over Nessa, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. He was now her second-in-command and had drawn the short end of the deal when everyone else had jobs to do. They weren’t alone, either. In the corner of the room, Cassie was sitting with her herbs and a bowl. Nessa watched Cassie for a moment before the young witch noticed her.

It was strange for a day human to be calm amongst night humans. Even those that didn’t know about their world still felt the strangeness of being a food target, even if unintentionally. Cassie didn’t even blink at being amongst them. Nessa had to guess that was from being raised amid them. That was the only reason she could come up with, at least. Cassie noticed Nessa studying her.

“Can I borrow a couple drops of your blood?” she asked Nessa.

Nessa was startled by the question, but didn’t see a reason to refuse. She had no clue what the young witch was working on, but the girl was there to help. She had already made it clear that she was the one that wanted to stay when Maria wanted to leave. Nessa stood and walked over to the witch. When Cassie held out a small pen knife, Nessa took it from her.

“How much do you need?” she asked.

“A few drops is more than enough,” Cassie replied.

Nessa pressed the tip of the knife to her finger, piercing the skin. She dropped five drops onto the plate Cassie had before her. Cassie nodded her thanks before grabbing another bottle of herbs. The young witch was too absorbed in what she was doing to even notice Nessa now. Nessa returned to the chair beside Ronan. Everyone was still out doing their own investigations, while she could only sit and wait.

It didn’t take long before Devin returned. He had known she was waiting, but Nessa didn’t feel like bugging him too much. They were all busy, and she had nothing to do but go on dates. At one point in her life that would have been fun, but now her time was being wasted. Turner and Maria returned behind Devin and Keaton.

“Good date?” Devin asked. He had to already have known what had happened, as Nessa noticed him trying not to laugh when he asked.
