章 40: I Wanted To Ask You Something

Harmony's life had fallen into a new pattern since Brennan started harboring Talori to keep her safe. The mermaid hung out in her office every day while the water fairy was at work, Castian now stayed over every Friday night so he could join them in their research on Saturday mornings, and she kept finding herself owing him things so she usually brought him food once or twice a week to make up for it.

This went on for months without variation. Talori seemed to be adjusting better, though her homesickness did hit her every so often. When it did, Brennan knew how to handle her.

He was rather reliable for a fairy. It seemed he was rubbing off on his mermaid friend too.

"I want to do something to help Brennan," she said resolutely. "He pays for all of my food and takes me to do fun things and I can't realistically sit around the coven all day indefinitely, can I? I want to get a job."
