She saw his brief smile at the mention of her name.
“Please,” she said, wanting to ease his burden. Getting up to sit on the couch, she patted the area beside her.
He sat down, a charming smile gracing his lips when he spoke about Kylie. “Our relationship is progressing well.”
“You haven’t scared her off yet?” Brie teased.
“No, the girl seems to be able to handle me, obsessions and all.”
Brie looked at him with tenderness. “That’s wonderful. I would tell you that Kylie is lucky to have found you, but it’s obviously true for you as well. You finally found the lock to your key.”
He chuckled. “I did. There’s a real freedom when you meet someone who not only accepts you for who you are, but actually loves you for it.”
Brie smiled, glancing at Sir. “I know exactly what you mean.”
“As far as my professional life, I have some news you might find interesting.”
“Please share,” Brie pleaded, welcoming the distraction.
“You know that strange vision you had about me a few months ago?”
“Of course,” she answered, looking back at Sir excitedly.
“Well, from out of the blue, I got this call from a TV exec asking if I would be interested in doing a talk show—a talk show, of all things.”
“I told you, didn’t I?”
He laughed. “It’s all just discussions at this point, and who knows if it will lead anywhere. Still…you did predict it. It kind of creeped me out, actually. How could you have known that would happen?”
Brie shrugged. “I get a feeling sometimes—it’s like a tingling sensation on my scalp that travels straight to my heart. Whenever it happens, I know something important is going to happen. I felt that when I had my vision about you.”
“Well, wherever your powers come from, they were freakishly right about this one.”
“Did they give you any idea when?” Sir asked.
Faelan shook his head. “Nah. Like I said, we’re still at the planning stages. I’m not mentioning it to anyone else because I know LA. People make plans all the time here, but it is rare to have one actually pan out.”
“I’m sure you’re wise to keep it under wraps. It’s not a business I am familiar with,” Sir said.
“Me either,” Faelan admitted. “But ever since Brie mentioned her odd vision, I’ve been doing some research, just out of curiosity.”
“So you’ve been googling it?” Brie asked, giggling.
Although Faelan hadn’t been there when Brie first uttered those words to Sir during a practicum, the phrase “I googled it, Sir” had become a sub favorite at the Center. “I have been googling it. In fact, I’ve googled the shit out of it,” Faelan replied with a smirk.
Brie laughed with delight.
“I love the sound of your laughter, babygirl.”
She looked at Sir. They’d been so close to losing each other yesterday…
Brie wasn’t sure she could handle any more close calls, but she took solace in knowing they were safe and people like Faelan were looking out for her.
Turning back to Faelan, she stared at his eyepatch. It reminded her of what he’d done for them. “You are not allowed to say that you failed me. Not only did you keep Lilly far away from me, but you also saved Rytsar. You will never know the depth of my gratitude.” He tried to shrug it off, but she wouldn’t let him. “You are a hero, Faelan, and your sacrifice changed the course of all our lives. Don’t you ever forget that.”
Faelan looked at her sadly, his beautiful lone blue eye filled with remorse.
“May I take this off, Faelan?” she asked, lightly touching his eyepatch.
