Why was it my default location when I felt sad had Liam in it? Not that I was deep in the doldrums or anything, but thinking about Meira leaving me was enough to set me off in search of comfort.
Didn't help Gram was still nowhere to be found. The rest of the house felt so quiet. Maybe that was why I couldn't stand to stay around while the sound of Meira's laughter and chatter echoed from upstairs like she was in another world.
I sealed the wards on the house as I left, sending her a soft touch of magic to let her know where I was going. She hugged me quickly back, a flash of a very cute guy passing between us before she blocked me out, giggling. I was a little surprised to find Sassafras at my feet, tail twitching, as I locked the kitchen door.
Who was I to question why he needed out of the house? Maybe Meira's growing up bothered him, too.
