I flinch at her joke, but my dad laughs heartily. “She’s a very nice girl, Nicholas” He says with a couple of nods like it’s me he needs to convince to agree to this marriage. He thanks Cassiopeia for the tea and adds just a bit of honey to it before taking a sip. He sighs in contentment as I reach for my cup. 

[color=F0A06B]“Are Caden and… uh… Nero here too?”[/color] I ask, trying to get Cassiopeia’s attention. She’s hardly looked our way since walking into the room. Is she embarrassed? Or maybe she feels guilty for everything that happened yesterday. Normally, I would easily hold a grudge against someone who lied to me and then also used my mother’s dead body for a spell, but having my dad back makes all of those feelings disappear. 

[color=F0A06B]”Would you like some help in the kitchen?”[/color] I ask as well. She’s the one who saved us, [i]I[/i] should be making [i]her[/i] breakfast.

I’m keenly aware of all the water I’m tracking into Caden’s house, but despite everything I’m happy to see him. [color=643B46]”Sorry for the mess,”[/color] I say with a guilty look as I take the clothes from him. [color=643B46]”But, I got my prize from Crowley and wanted to…”[/color] The sentence dies off. I was planning to give Caden the prize, but then I start to overthink it. What if he thinks that’s moving too fast or something? I stand there awkwardly for a second as I try to weigh the pros and cons quickly in my head, but eventually I shove the [url=https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQi0Tb70kc-qKExd_8dg84ugdZIriz5DlzyVrhWMhKQwcEeyvDCelU1C6FX4w&s]stone tablet[/url] into his arms. I was going to make a run for the closest bathroom after handing it over to change, but I realize I have no idea where that is. So instead I awkwardly explain to him what the prize is.

[color=643B46]”It’s a carving of a Germanic dragon, Crowley said it was probably circa 880s.”[/color] I push my wet hair off my forehead to gauge his reaction.
