She looked around, unsure of what she saw…

“What’s wrong?” Her sudden stiffness had him worried.

She gasped in shock. “Shit. Shit! He’s here. Harper’s killer is here.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:11 AM
“You may have built a new life, but is it really as good as the one we had together?”

His jaw clamped shut as he glared at her.

She grinned, “Didn’t think so.”

A flash of something distracted her…
January 10, 2026 at 6:10 AM
He stepped away, “So you wish to become a homewrecker.”

“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?”
January 10, 2026 at 6:09 AM
“I don’t care about her. I care about you. You are who I will fight for, who I’m not giving up on.” She moved into his personal space now, “This is between you and me, Ren, and I will not make it easy on you.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:08 AM
“I have no trust or faith in you to behave correctly towards the woman standing in the way of what you want.”

Her heart was pounding. He was hurt, angry, and truly thought the worst of her.
January 10, 2026 at 6:07 AM
Her mouth fell open in shock. She’d never seen him like this, nor had he ever spoken to her like that! She’d truly messed him up.

“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?”
January 10, 2026 at 6:06 AM
He moved in close, “If you dare to touch Vivienne, you will be less than nothing to me. Do you understand that? You do not speak to her, you do not look at her, you do not use your magic on her. Is that clear? Say it. Tell me that’s clear in your fracked-up head.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:05 AM
“I knew. I knew that, but-”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:04 AM
“I fracked up, badly. I was lost in grief-”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:03 AM
And then he said the worst thing ever, “I asked her to marry me months ago.”

“No.” Denial. Shock.

His brow cocked as he shook his head, “No? What right do you have to say that?”
January 10, 2026 at 6:02 AM
“The way you never told me to leave your bed says otherwise.”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 6:00 AM
“I know I’ve made huge mistakes-”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:59 AM
Another frown. “You have no right to say something like that to me.”

“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?”
January 10, 2026 at 5:58 AM
“Oh. So… so it’s serious.”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:57 AM
“That’s great news. I want to hear everything.”

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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:56 AM
No need to elaborate, he knew who she meant.

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:55 AM
“Hi.” Her smile was huge, overjoyed at the sight of him.

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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:54 AM
It’d been almost a year since she’d seen him last. Not since the night of the gala. Here they were again, both dressed up, and he was once again shocked to see her.

She smiled. Which made him frown. Okay, yeah, that wasn’t a sight he’d seen in far too many years.
January 10, 2026 at 5:53 AM
He laughed loudly, “Keep dreaming your hot old man dreams, Joy, but considering my Katie is your age, I think I’ll pass.”

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.
January 10, 2026 at 5:51 AM
“He’s not magical.”

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:50 AM
“Frack me.” Elsie said the second they took one step toward the building.

“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.”
January 10, 2026 at 5:48 AM
For now, she had a party to attend. Her captain was being honored at a public service event, and because she and Murphy closed the most cases this year, they were gifted invitations. Neither wanted to go, but the captain ordered it, so here they were.
January 10, 2026 at 5:47 AM
She would miss the work, it was far less complicated than being a spellcaster agent. But Ren wasn’t here, and she needed to be where he was. Would he take her back? She wasn’t sure. But there was no way in hell she wouldn’t fight like a wildcat to win him over once more.
