My gaze landed on icy blue eyes across the room and above in the balcony. My heart rate quickened, and I had to find release from those eyes. I moved ...y head as if gazing past him, when in all actuality I wanted to indulge in such a rarity. I had only seen him one second and yet I could already sense so much about him. He was massive in every single way. With a towering frame of six foot, brown curly hair, and some stubble on his jaw, he had managed to grab not only my attention but that of. The more time I spent around her the more focused I became on her body and how she moved, her little quirks and reactions. I couldn't believe it at first, but I was falling for her. On a typical morning after I had spent a few hours searching for jobs and sending off resumes I decided to call it quits a little early and plopped down on the couch in my typical lounging attire of shorts and a t-shirt. I was scrolling through the options on my streaming service when my mom plopped down next to me. “There’ll be some clouds, but we won’t get any snow. There’s a big storm coming, though. We might get snowed in for a day or two on our way to the ruins.”Shavala blinked in surprise. “How do you know?” she asked. Her elder senses told her the weather was clear at the moment, but she couldn’t see any farther than that.“It’s something stormrunners can do. I was always good at that part, just not the rest.”Sarette was wearing her chainmail, and she hadn’t spoken any words to cast a spell, which. We have your number from our caller ID, so we’ll call to confirm.”After he hung up, Tristan fluttered in front of his face, her face scowling.“You realize, she thinks you’re proposing investing in the university, don’t you?”“You not expose us?” Mizo asked.“Not directly, but it’s important I remain independent of the university for this to work. Other than that, you’ll have to wait until the meeting, tomorrow.”“What will you tell Mom when you see her?” Meg asked, studying Phil as they walked.
