my clothes into hiking apparel. She shudders and laughs.
“Will I get used to this?” she asks me.
“I certainly hope not,” I answer. “Now be prepared. We are going to transmanifest. That’s my way of traveling. We are going to ride the winds but it will only take a couple of seconds. It can be disorienting the first time. As long as I have your hand you’re safe.” I look her in the eyes to make sure she understands.
“Okay.” She’s suddenly serious again.
“Take my hand, Manda.”
And with that we fly.
13 LILITH
Typical of Sebastian to come in here, make a declaration, kiss me silly and then walk out again. I’m left in a tight bundle, fingering Mark’s card. I want to scream. Instead, in defiance, I grab my iPad and bring up my Gmail account. I email Mark a small note to say hi and that it was one crazy night the other night.
I get a reply instantly.
Lily, I am so sorry to have caused you so much pain. I wasn’t thinking clearly when I let you use the brimstone. Had I been I would have never offered it to you. I was overcome by the idea of giving you a great time. You just seemed to need it so badly. I wasn’t thinking with my head :)
Again, please forgive me. I hope you are well.
Yours,
Mark
I am touched that his apology is so heartfelt. I don’t think he can be trusted to be around when I am out of control again, though, but maybe we can be friends. I email him back.
Mark,
I did really need to have a good time that night, but I think brimstone will ALWAYS be too much of a good time for me. :) How is your day going? I hope you are doing well too.
Lily
He instantly replies again.
Lily,
I’m doing the boring part of my job, paperwork. Your emails are a welcome distraction. I’ve really been worried about you and Diel wouldn’t tell me anything until today. I even went to You Belong to Me and Sebastian kicked me out LOL. I don’t blame him. So, I am doing much better now that I know that you are doing better.
Yours,
Mark
Bast would have enjoyed getting back at Mark in any way he could. Poor Mark. He must have been really worried. Mark shouldn’t have given me the crap in the first place, though.
Mark,
I’m sorry for Sebastian’s rudeness. Maybe I could buy you a coffee sometime to make up for it. My schedule’s recently started to fill up and I know you are busy, but I’m sure we could figure something out.
Lily
Dearest Lily,
Anytime, anywhere, I am available to you. You name the time and place and I will be there.
Yours,
Mark
Dearest eh? Hmmm. All I need is another complication, though I could use a friend. If I make that clear maybe we could navigate this. I pick up my phone and look at my schedule. Kick Boxing starts tomorrow night and my next counseling appointment isn’t for two days. I could meet him tonight or tomorrow during the day.
Mark,
I’m free tonight or tomorrow afternoon. How is your schedule? Which would you prefer?
Lily
Dearest Lily,
Sooner rather than later. I want to see with my own eyes that you are indeed okay. So tonight. Where and when? I could pick you up or we can meet.
Yours,
Mark
Eager much, but sweet.
Mark,
I’ll drive myself. I think you are still persona non grata here at the house. I know a small coffee house, I’ll text you the address and meet you there in thirty minutes?
Lily Dearest,
Eagerly awaiting your text. :)
Yours, Mark
I send him the address and then go into the bathroom to refresh my makeup, grab my purse and head downstairs.
I poke my head in the library and announce that I am going out for a coffee.
Every head pops up.
“I’m just getting coffee with a friend. I promise. Nothing more. I’m too exhausted for anything else,” I say looking Helena in the eye so she knows I’m talking about my session with Sophie.
“I think it’s okay, everyone. Give her some space. Who’s your friend, Lily?” Helena asks.
“Mark.” I throw my hands up before they all burst out in objections. “He wants to make sure I’m in one piece.
“Will I get used to this?” she asks me.
“I certainly hope not,” I answer. “Now be prepared. We are going to transmanifest. That’s my way of traveling. We are going to ride the winds but it will only take a couple of seconds.
