and Izzy handed Marie a towel.
“So, what now?” Izzy asked as Marie stepped from the shower with the towel wrapped tightly around her.
“What do you mean, what now?”
“I mean , what are you going to do now? Is this a dive-in-headfirst situation?”
Marie shook her head. “Don’t ask that, Iz. All I really know is that I need a place to stay.”
Izzy smiled. “Well, I offered the house up to Uriah. However, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s probably fine with you crashing here. But be gentle with his heart, Marie. He’s been through a lot.”
“Yeah I know, he told me his girlfriend died . What happened to her?”
Izzy shook her head. “It’s his story. Give him a chance and he will tell you. He’s one of the good ones, Marie.”
Marie smiled. “I know that… I might have a small crush on him.”
Izzy scoffed as she jumped down from the counter. “Small?”

“They’re giggling up there.” Bain smirked as he poured a mug of coffee and slid it across the island to Uriah.
Uriah’s gaze shifted to the ceiling as he cocked his head and caught the familiar sound of Marie’s laughter.
“It’s a good thing ,” Bain commented as he leaned against the counter with his own mug of steaming coffee.
Uriah shrugged, but he couldn’t hide the smile stretching his lips behind the mug. “So what’s up? Why are you here?”
Bain sighed. “The snow is melting.”
Uriah flinched slightly.
“That was sort of what I expected, but you needed to know.”
Uriah forced out a deep breath. “So, she’s back with her sisters… It is really, truly over.”
Bain nodded. “Are you okay, man?”
Uriah nodded, an almost wistful smile on his lips. “I am. I truly did love her and part of me always will, but something was always off, and she’s where she was always meant to be. I’ll miss her, and I’ll miss seeing her. Still, I feel a sort of peace at the knowledge that she’s home.”
Bain smirked. “Does that have something to do with the woman upstairs?”
“That obvious?” Uriah asked.
“Uh, you have met me before, right? And you see what Izzy has done to me.”
Uriah chuckled. “She whipped you into shape.”
Bain shrugged. “I suppose you could call it that . The point is that the Moreno women have a certain charm, and Immortals seem to be their preferred prey.”
They both laughed and smiled as the women in question entered the kitchen with similar questioning looks on their faces. “What’s so funny?” Marie asked.
Bain and Uriah both shook their heads. “Nothing you need to worry about,” Bain assured her.
Izzy wrapped an arm around Uriah’s neck and hugged him . With her lips a breath away from his ear, she whispered, “Behave yourself.”
He nodded and kissed her cheek.
“Come on, Bain. We need to get back. I have a dinner date with Kyra.”
Bain slapped Uriah’s shoulder as he passed. “We’ll talk later, brother.”
Uriah nodded. “You got it.”
Marie watched them go, only turning back to Uriah after she heard the front door close and lock. “My ears are ringing.”
He smiled. “That’s a sign of high blood pressure.”
She huffed. “I don’t have high blood pressure . What were you and Bain talking about?”
“Work.”
She arched a brow. “And?”
“Maybe you… a little. You didn’t really think he wouldn’t have questions, did you?”
She shrugged. “No, I suppose not… What did you tell him?”
Uriah stalked towards her, a new confidence and desire pulling at his very soul. He stopped mere inches from her. Her breath hitched and her scent shifted. “I told him that I was not immune to your charms.”
“My charms?” she asked coyly.
Uriah’s hand moved to her cheek, his fingers grazing lightly over her soft skin. Her face was bare of makeup, aside from a thin layer of mascara lengthening her already thick, long lashes. “Yes, I find you quite charming in fact, and right now all I want to do is taste those pouty
