I STARE DOWN at my hands for the fiftieth time since Des and I returned from the
Flora Kingdom, looking for something that indicates that I’m different.
Changed.
Immortal.
I press my palm to my heart. Beneath the steady thump of it, I feel something
else. Something magical and mysterious.
Something that wasn’t there just days ago.
My connection to Des thrums beneath my touch like a second heartbeat, the
two us now magically bound together.
I slide him a coy glance.
Des sits along a thick stone railing, his back resting against one of the
columns bolted into the rocky island above us. The two of us linger on the
lowest balcony of Somnia, one of the six floating islands of the Night Kingdom
and the capitol of the Bargainer’s realm.
“I’m angry at you, you know,” I say, though there’s no venom to the words.
The Bargainer’s eyes are closed, his head tipped back against the column.
“I know.”
I watch him as he sits on the very edge of the world, the dark night beyond
him. In the distance, I can hear the chittering laughter of pixies riding the
evening wind.
“You never asked me if I wanted to live forever.” My voice catches on that
last word.
Technically, I’m not going to live forever, but it might as well be that long.
Thanks to the lilac wine Des fed me, I’m now looking at a solid four hundred
years of life—if not more.
What will the earth look like by the time I actually kick the bucket? How
about the Otherworld?
Need to talk to Temper about how freaking long fairy lifespans are.
The Bargainer’s eyes open, his glittering silver gaze looking fearsome and fae.
He gives me a hint of a smile, though there’s no humor in it. “Cherub, you
seem to be forgetting the fact that you were dying at the time.”
I was dying, and he was unwilling to let me go.
He reaches a hand out to me, and his magic tugs me towards him. I frown as
I’m ushered to his side.
Des taps my mouth. “Tell me, Callie,” he says, his voice is like honeyed wine
as his hands fall to my waist, “don’t you want to spend more than just a few
decades with me?”
Of course I do. That’s beside the point.
I’m upset that I never got a chance to decide my fate for myself. And now the
future looms endlessly ahead of me.
