“You sound like my therapist,” Tabitha pointed out.
“You have a therapist.”
Sort-of. Storm moonlighted as a therapist, but she had done plenty of talking with Tabitha over the last few months. Tabitha didn’t want to tell Felix that she slept with a vampire in her spare time, so she just nodded.
“I’ll help you find her home,” Felix finally said. “I can guide you through the island.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s not a safe island,” he warned her.
“I don’t care.”
“How did you finally find it?”
“I used my thieving skills to find a map that led me here.”
“Incredible,” Felix shook his head.
“What?”
“You are.”
“Me?” Tabitha blushed. She wasn’t used to being charmed like this. Not by a guy like Felix.
He was tall, dark, and handsome. He was everything she’d ever liked in men, but there was something else, too. Felix was kind of a mystery. Everything he said held weight. Every word was carefully considered. She thought he might be hiding something, too. Nobody just had a secret cave for fun, after all, and she wanted to find out what it was.
“You,” he repeated.
“I’m not incredible.”
“Don’t argue with me, witch.”
When he called her a witch, it didn’t bother her. It didn’t hurt her feelings because he wasn’t saying it in a way that was mean. Tabitha could tell when someone was being cruel, and this guy wasn’t.
He was just being...
Well, himself, if she had to guess.
“Why do you call me that?”
“Witch?”
“Yes.”
“Because you’re adorable,” he said. “And you are a witch.”
“How could you tell?”
She hadn’t used any magic since she’d arrived. She didn’t really have any left, which was unfortunate. How was she supposed to fight Ursula if she had nothing left in her energy stores?
“Your hands,” he told her.
“I held them up when I saw you,” she realized. That had been a stupid mistake. Had Felix not been a good person, it would have caused a lot of problems. It still could, in fact.
Tabitha wasn’t exactly in the habit of showing all of her cards at once, but there was something about Felix that just seemed...familiar.
She couldn’t explain why, but she felt a comfort with him that she’d never felt before.
