"It's simple." He snapped, and a powerpoint appeared out of nowhere. "You understand the concept of karma, correct?"

ch 33 Chapter 33: The Old You
Fantasy · Scourgie
We both knew where this would lead, where it had to lead, eventually. Not today, maybe not even soon. I wasn't ready yet, despite what my entire body had tried to tell me just moments ago in the throes of the passionate snog. I was hardly celibate, but, as Lena had once sagely advised (but never obeyed): get inside their head before you get inside their bed. And what was going on in Buddy's head was still very much a mystery to me.

Our lips grazed each other's, so softly at first as to barely touch. The world faded to a dim awareness beyond the sound of blood rushing through my ears and the million nerve endings in my lips overwhelming my brain with their screamed messages.

Sin-Vira looked away from her as he covered his mouth. "A-about that… I was too embarrassed after holding you all night to even look at you in the morning."

I found my fear-filled eyes looking up into Buddy's, his arm still holding me tightly around my waist, my body pressed against his body, inches from his jaw, his lips. Relief flooded through my bones, evicting fear from my marrow. Another kind of tingling took over from the waning rush of adrenaline, this time warming me from my belly. I lost myself in his eyes, not even attempting to resist their pull. I was aware of his hands on my back, one moving up to my neck. A shiver ran up my spine as his hand traced its path upwards. I could see his mouth moving, but his words were lost in the waterfall crashing somewhere in my ear canal. I could hear nothing over the roaring, rising rush of blood that was threatening to drown me. His eyes were gentle, sincere. His hand softly grazed my neck, my jaw, my cheek.

ch 16 Mother

He washed himself off as he continued thinking about the brief interaction he had with her father. Sin-Vira wanted to escort Sibylla around his kingdom. The main reason was for her to become familiar with it, but also to take her far away from her father. If they were lucky, she could stay for a few nights.

Crying? She couldn't be able to do that…

Vira stopped himself from touching her cheek and smiled. "Bylla. I don't like kissing up to people. If someone's being an ass, then I'll see them as an ass. I do mean what I said. You've done nothing but made this day the best I've had in a long time."

ch 0 9 Curse in the Family
Fantasy · Rowan Jayy
Music flowed through the house as I opened the bathroom door, and I emerged to find them singing along to 80s classics, dish brush in Lena's gloved hands acting as a karaoke microphone. Buddy had the tea towel tied around his head like a ridiculous plaid dorag. I froze in amused disbelief, then laughed as they pulled me in, and we all roared the chorus together like drunks at the pub on open mic night. We sang loudly, purposefully out of tune, each trying to outdo the others with our garish singing. When the song finished, we all collapsed into laughter, gasping for air between hysterical guffaws. Lena was making pathetic attempts at finishing the dishes, but kept having to pause to snort out another chuckle. Buddy removed the tea towel and went back to drying, still grinning widely. I stared at them, filled with a sudden and unexpected feeling of contentment and fondness. Here were the two people I was closest to right now, having fun and laughing together. It occurred to me that this was the most fun I'd had with Lena in ages - maybe ever. She'd always been here, but we'd never really spent this much time together, never just had fun together. Tonight had been one of the best nights I could remember in months, if not years. I'd been living in some kind of fog-obscured wasteland, and it felt like Buddy had arrived like the sun, evaporating the clouds and painting my world with colours I had somehow forgotten existed. I might need him now more than he needed me, I realised. I would have to find a way to keep him here. I had to give him an identity, help him integrate into the world. I knew now, looking at him smiling in my kitchen, that I couldn't risk losing the miracle that had crash landed in my life.
