“Sorry, you have my undivided attention right now. Let’s go over it all.”

I leave them to go over everything that I want nothing to do with.

I do, however, want to spend some time with Adelina. So I find a couple of bottles of supernatural-friendly wine that I stored for a rainy day and make loads of snacks.

Felix and Griffyn see what I’m doing and ask to join.

“Friend time is important and you two are squarely in mate territory, sorry.”

They pout and I have to promise Griffyn that I’ll help him plan a prank soon to get him to leave us alone.

It’s cute how much they want to always be with me but I want time with Adelina.

I move back into the living room with everything, where they’re working, to see they’re finishing up.

“Last thing, the demon elder has an attitude with me and is making my life difficult when it comes to working with his team,” Adelina says.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle him.”

“With threats?” I ask, pulling their attention to me.

“Of course, but they will be discreet,” Aksel says.

Something must be wrong with me that I think that’s so hot.

“What’s in your hands, Anna?” Adelina asks.

I smile but suddenly I’m nervous about what I’m going to ask her. Maybe she won’t be interested in hanging out with me.

Is she going to feel obligated because of Aksel?

“Sorry, did I make you uncomfortable?” She asks when I don’t say anything.

It’s the nerves in her voice that give me the courage to ask.

“I don’t know if you need to rush back but I was thinking we could hang out if you have time?” I’m rambling.

Adelina’s face lights up. “I would love to! Is that wine?”

“Yes!”

I give Aksel a look to get lost and his smile looks exacerbated.

“I guess I’ll just go and work on everything Adelina just gave me. Have fun,” Aksel says.

I move into the room and spread my goodies across the table before speeding back to the kitchen to grab some wine glasses.

We cheers and sip our drinks before browsing the TV.

I hesitate over the reality TV category and she notices.

“You like human reality TV too? I’m obsessed with all of them!” Adelina says.

“I do!”

We bond over our thoughts on all the different shows. As soon as I’ve locked Adelina down as a friend, I will introduce her to Aly.

We settle on one of the dating shows that just started a new season. Three episodes are available and we binge all of them.
