Page 24 of Surviving Enchantment: Part two
Jerrik put his head back down.“Mom?What’s wrong?”
Nylora watched the woman wrestle her emotions into calm, and the fire disappeared.
Emily said, “Iris, why don’t you get Jerr to school?This is a lot for the first thing in the morning.No one is moving away, so you can get some tests done before anyone freaks out.”
Iris nodded and said, “Hey, Jerr, let’s get going, or you are going to miss soccer practice.”
She looked at her son, and he said, “But Mom, he’s like me.”
The agent reached into his vest and handed her a business card.
“Mom, give him one of yours.”
She went into her back pocket and handed him a card that was slightly curled at the edges.“Sorry.I left the other ones in my uniform.”
He looked down, smiled, and put it in his pocket.“Thanks.I will be in touch about that test, not that it is necessary.I definitely remember you.”He crouched down.“And Jerrik, I will definitely see you again.I am the only other Dullahan in town.”
Jerrik beamed and stuck out his hand.Kairek shook his hand, and then Jerrik’s mom got them over to their house and in the van on the way to soccer.
Nylora smiled.“That was cute.”
Emily laughed.“Yes, Aunt, it was.So, Neekil, do we want to do that test?”
Kairek was looking like he had been struck with a club.Emmers clapped him on the shoulder.“You’re a dad.”
“I...yeah.I remember that night.Wow, do I remember that night.I even remember thinking that the best part of the wedding was taking that damned suit off in such delightful company.”He mused.“Her dress was a purply red.”
“Burgundy.The colour is burgundy.”Emmers snorted.
Neekil looked to Emily.“So, yes, I would like to do a sample mark.I have it here.”
Nylora said, “Em, you good?”
“I am good.Have a great day.Wait.One more hug.”She reached out and hugged her, giving her a big smacking kiss on the cheek.
Nylora laughed, and her phone chirped a lot.“I think I need to check that.Solor is probably going a little nuts if he got off shift and I am unaccounted for.Well, we are unaccounted for.”She patted Bump and got into the vehicle.Jennel was already gone, and her guys were right behind her.
The ladies were on their way a few moments later, chasing the other cars until the previous two turned down to the minotaur mansion, and they headed to the other manor a few moments later.
Solor was sitting on the steps and waiting.Demuel was next to him.Nylora said, “Why do I feel like I just missed curfew?”
Dia laughed.Kaitha was going to take Isocar home, but it was time for her to meet Solor.
The introduction was rather fast.Kaitha was laughing because Solor was holding Nylora tight and nuzzling her neck.
Demuel was marginally better, but Isocar was grinning as she watched her sister being hauled off into the house by two relieved mates.
Nylora sighed and looked at both of them as Solor hauled her along.“You could have been more polite to my sister.”
“You haven’t responded to my texts all day.”
“I don’t want to be a bother.”
He lifted her as he opened the door to his room.“Bother me.”
She smiled and kissed him.“Not when you are working.I also don’t answer texts while I am working.”
He sighed.“Fine.How about at scheduled times per night?”
