appearance at the Guild Hall and I will tell you what you need to know about dealing with those demon curses.”
Sophy sighed. “I thought I was supposed to be resting.”
“Ha. Funny. You and I both know you will be on your feet in minutes. Your physical body is fine; it is your magical energies that need to recover.”
She groaned and flipped the covers over the phone. She was naked, and he didn’t need to see that. Her entire body ached. She moved with glacial slowness to the shower and let the hot water take out the aches and pains that she was feeling. Her body was marked with traces of energy under the skin, marks that looked like rivers of power. “That is new.”
When she was wrapped in a towel with her hair mostly dry and draped over her shoulder, she uncovered the phone.
“I already saw you naked. Delwin helped your mother undress you. It was a delightful show.”
“Perv.”
“I admire the female form and yours more than any other.”
She glared at him. “Stop sucking up. I am feeling stronger. We can go to the Guild Hall today.”
“You might want to wait on that. It is the middle of the night. You have been out for hours.”
She looked to the window and saw the dark of night outside. “Well, fuck.”
She lifted her blankets, crawled back under the sheets and pulled the towel away when she was done settling. Time for another nap. If she was honest, she needed it.
“You know you always curse when you are thwarted.”
She pulled her duvet up next to her ear. “I know.”

Delwin crept into the bedroom when he felt Sophia had fallen asleep. He removed the charger from her phone and removed the item from her bedroom.
Outside in the hall, he made sure he was a sufficient distance before he asked the phone. “Who the hell are you?”
The rich voice was challenging. “Who are you? I was under the impression that Sophia was not in a relationship.”
“I am her housekeeper and roommate. My name is Delwin. My question stands.”
“Magnus. I am her liaison to the Mage Guild. I occupy her electronics, but normally, she turns her phone off when she goes home.”
“Where’s your body?”
“It is a long story.”
“What can you tell me about what she likes?” Delwin finally came out with it. “She is a fussy eater, and I don’t know what her favourites are.”
“You are joking.”
He cupped the phone between his palms and whispered, “No. I like it here, and I don’t want to move. I want to keep her happy.”
The phone sighed. “Cookies, tacos, soda, spicy and sweet. Those are her favourites. Now, please, put me back. I would like to be there when she wakes.”
“So, you have a body.”
“Yes. It is just not accessible to me right now. Sophia is going to assist me with that.”
Delwin was suddenly suspicious. “Does she know she is helping you?”
A flash of light struck him.
Delwin walked away from Sophia’s room wondering what he had been doing there. He could have sworn that he was going to ask the phone something, but now, he couldn’t remember what that was. Ah, well, it probably wasn’t important.

Sophia kept her bedding over the phone while she got dressed.
She smoothed a long, brilliant-blue, split-side tunic down over her black leggings and slipped her feet into some wedge heels. Her hair was in a smooth ponytail that hung down her back. Modest earrings and a matching necklace were in place before she unwrapped the phone.
“I can’t do anything, even if I see you naked.”
She snorted. “A girl has secrets. I have more than most.”
She held the phone and got her purse.
The moment she stepped into the hallway, the scent of oatmeal and cinnamon assailed her nostrils.
She followed the scent into the kitchen where Delwin was setting out a plate of oatmeal cookies next to a stack of napkins.
“I figured you might want to get going right away, so I made these so you can take them on the road. They are fortified with
