“What’s wrong?” Her sudden stiffness had him worried.
She gasped in shock. “Shit. Shit! He’s here. Harper’s killer is here.”

His jaw clamped shut as he glared at her.
She grinned, “Didn’t think so.”
A flash of something distracted her…

“You’re not married.”
“You’re unbelievable. You walked out on me four years ago, and now suddenly believe, because 𝑦𝑜𝑢 are ready, that I’m going to give up this life I’ve built?”

Her heart was pounding. He was hurt, angry, and truly thought the worst of her.

“I would never hurt an innocent. You should know that. I’ve spent my entire life helping people. Why would you think I would ever try to hurt her?”
“I would never hurt an innocent. You should know that. I’ve spent my entire life helping people. Why would you think I would ever try to hurt her?”
“But nothing. You’re too late, Elsie. My life is good right now.”
Her jaw clenched. “I’m not giving up on you. I will fight for you.”
“But nothing. You’re too late, Elsie. My life is good right now.”
Her jaw clenched. “I’m not giving up on you. I will fight for you.”
“Did you think you were the only one grieving? You never thought about how much I loved Harper, she was like a sister to me as well. You never considered the pain I was also going through.”

“No.” Denial. Shock.
His brow cocked as he shook his head, “No? What right do you have to say that?”
“No.” Denial. Shock.

“That was fracking. That’s not a relationship. You were a warm body, that’s it.”
“You know that’s not true. What we have-”
“Had. What we had. In the past. Vivienne is my future.”
“That was fracking. That’s not a relationship. You were a warm body, that’s it.”
“You know that’s not true. What we have-”
“Had. What we had. In the past. Vivienne is my future.”
“Many.” He interrupted again, unwilling to let her speak in his agitated state, “You’ve been gone too long, there is no hope here. There hasn’t been since the day you left me after being summoned by your council.”

“Ren-”
“No, Elsie. No.” He scoffed, taking a step back from her. “You are reaching the end of your quest for justice, so what, you think that means I’ll fall back at your feet?”
“Ren-”
“No, Elsie. No.” He scoffed, taking a step back from her. “You are reaching the end of your quest for justice, so what, you think that means I’ll fall back at your feet?”
“Yes. She’s…” A soft smile touched his lips, a look that made Elsie’s heart ache, “She’s amazing, it’s been really great.”
“We were great.”
“Yes. She’s…” A soft smile touched his lips, a look that made Elsie’s heart ache, “She’s amazing, it’s been really great.”
“We were great.”
The smile she flashed him was huge, and it made him frown again.
“Are you-” Watcher, she didn’t even want to ask! “Are you still seeing that girl?”
“Yes. We got an apartment together earlier this year.”

“Yes. We got an apartment together earlier this year.”
“Who was it?”
“I haven’t caught him yet, but I know his face, name, & how to find him. He’s a ‘caster, I always knew he was supernatural, no matter what the council believed. A group of us are going together to take him down. Soon.”

She watched him swallow hard, seeming to need a moment to gather himself.
“Long time.”
“Yeah.” A slight pause before she continued, “I found him, Ren.”

She smiled. Which made him frown. Okay, yeah, that wasn’t a sight he’d seen in far too many years.

Inside now, he was thankfully pulled aside by an old friend. She needed to focus on where Ren was, concentrating on the soulmate bond, she followed the pull.

“Ah! So your love of us mundanes goes back further than your career with us?”
“Too bad I didn’t meet you first, Murph, maybe before the beer belly, we could have had something special.”

“Huh?” Murphy, eloquent as always, grunted his question.
She took a deep breath, “My uh, my ex is here.”
Murphy looked around, “No shit! What’s he look like? I wanna meet another magic kid.”
