The next morning Carol woke up next to Ahmed like always. His doggie eyes were staring at her in concern again. She looked away and yawned before speaking. She knew why he was worried.

“The Mariachi band played my favorite song. I had to dance the Mambo. Who was the guy in the sombrero? I liked the way he spun me around.”

Ahmed morphed into his human self. He raised up on one elbow and frowned. “It wasn’t a sombrero. He had thick hair… and the man was the bartender at the restaurant.”

“Oh.” Carol chuckled as she slid out of bed still wearing her red ruffled dress.

Four margaritas without a hangover was a new record for her, but she felt mostly fine.

“Dancing was fun. The Mambo isn’t as fun as doing the Hustle, but it did keep me distracted for a while.”

“He’s not worth it.”

There was no pretending not to know what Ahmed meant. “Unfortunately, I do know—that’s my stinking problem.”

She walked to the bathroom, closed the door, and nearly screamed at her reflection. Holding up a hand and turning her face from the wild woman with wild hair looking back at her, Carol chanted and felt the ruffle dress disappear.

Climbing into the shower as quickly as she could, Carol turned it on full and stood there until she felt human again. When she crawled out of the shower twenty minutes later, she found her favorite underwear, leggings, and off-the-shoulder t-shirt waiting.

She was really going to miss this when Ahmed moved on. He took such good care of her even when he disapproved of her actions.

She dressed quietly and left her hair wet after staring at herself for a while. The woman in the mirror didn’t even look confident, much less kick-ass this morning. It was alarming to have found such a weakness in herself. Fabio wasn’t worth this. Ahmed was right.

Tired of her personal pity party, she left the bathroom and found a human Ahmed waiting in the kitchen with coffee and food. He was wearing more pajama pants today, and his naked chest was barely covered by a vest with a ton of real jewels sewn onto the front of it.

“Wow. Is that your sultan prince gear?”

“I will overlook your bad attitude this morning, but do not insult my clothing again. The croissants are fresh from Paris. Francois said to tell you hello.”

Carol slipped into a chair. Ahmed had been getting the brunt of everything ugly she spewed for a couple of days now. “I guess I had a meltdown yesterday.”

“You had something,” Ahmed agreed, turning from the counter to glare. “With me, you were coldly logical and firm in your refusal of my affection. With the idiot warlock, you wept and ran away to Mexico to get drunk. It is obvious to both of us who owns your passion.”

“Look… I’m sorry. What else can I say? I’m having one of those times the Jezibaba warned me about.”

Ahmed stopped fooling with stuff on the counter to take the chair across from her.
