Cara wanted to ask the other question, the big question, but she couldn’t. Every time she tried to bring it up, Nick changed the subject. He didn’t want to talk about Henry. It was too soon. She had to be patient, and when he was ready, she would help him deal with it.

“You’re stalling.”
He grumbled something, and she pulled him down to give him a kiss.
“You’ll be fine. They know you’re coming. My mother made food, and I’m sure that there’ll be beer.”
Nick looked at her. “Okay.”
“Okay? Really?” She laughed. “That’s all it took?”

“I’ll know for next time.”

“I’m easing them into the whole witch thing. They’ll get there.”
“They’re dealing with it surprisingly well,” Nick said. “Any news with them?”
“We’re already late,” Cara said. “No more stalling.”
Nick took a breath. “Okay, let’s do it.”
“Don’t worry,” she said. “My parents love me, and they know I love you, so they’ll be on their best behaviour.”
“If you say so,” he said, and she knocked on the door.
