The primal urge to obsessively access your uni portal to see if your classes have been released, so you can read the syllabi thirty-seven times before class next week.

”Not at the expense of yourself. You’re no good to anyone, including your patients, if you keep pushing yourself all the time. And I swear if you tell me I should follow my own advice I will reach through this phone and smack you. And don’t think I can’t.” It makes me smile, threatening Nic like that. It’s all in jest, of course, but I’m still smiling.

”I think I would break a therapist if I started seeing one,” I joke. I fall silent again. ”What makes you happy, Nic? Like truly unbelievably happy. Like so happy your heart hurts?”

Wayland comes near again and curls up beside me. I rest my hand on his back. Wayland purrs, providing me comfort. If only he could be providing comfort to Nic right now.

I listen to Nic’s story and I feel like I am starting to understand him. ”That’s why you wanted to be a nurse instead. Why you bring the sunshine to everyone around you. Nic… You can’t be two people. Your sister was a gift. A ray of light in the darkness but you can’t put that on yourself as well.”

I shut my eyes, resting a hand over my heart. I knew something must have happened with the way Nic talked about his sister at the shop. ”Nic… I’m so sorry. That can’t have been easy. Where…where the two of you close?” Of course, they must have been if he dropped school because of it. It must have torn a hole through the whole family. No wonder they were so close, and why the last remaining Wus’ hung on to each other so fiercely.

”I have whiskey,” I say off-handedly, but I don’t linger. I sigh heavily. ”Nic, you just buried your mother today. Could we maybe stick on your life crisis for another day? Some would say you are deflecting your own problems by trying to solve mine.”

I flop back onto my newly vacated pillow and pinch the bridge of my nose. ”That’s more of a conversation to have over drinks. A lot of drinks. And maybe I leave on a plane immediately after,” I half-joke. I fall silent and stare into the corner where the glowing eyes had been.

”It has to do with my family. It has to do with why I left Scotland. It’s…. A lot of things.”

I sniff and laugh a little. I wipe my eyes and scratch Wayland's head. ”You didn’t call me in the middle of the night so I can ask you a question,” I say. ”You called because you are worried. You called because you never put yourself first, like me.”

Oh, goddess, no. Nic’s text is quickly followed by my phone ringing. Please no. I sniff as I try to wipe the tears away. He’s going to know. Why does he always seem to know?

Wayland finally moves off the pillow and curls into my laugh. I huff a laugh, but it sounds strained because of my tears. My ringtone starts on its second round of ringing. I’m running out of time. I take a deep breath and sigh, sniffing before swiping up.

”Hi.”

At first, I typed out the one time a village attempted to burn me alive, but that’s probably too intense. Which wasn’t all that hot since I put myself in a protective bubble, which didn’t help the townspeople from seeing me as anything other than a witch. I delete that and go with the next best thing.

Dragon fire I say simply. His next message comes through, and I sit back up again. Wayland stretches out, grateful I’ve moved, but he neglects to leave the pillow completely. I cross my legs under the cover and ponder Nic’s question.

I’m self sufficient with everything. I’ve saved myself, worked, and provided all my basic needs all my life. My life when I was still a child, a teenager even, was not what you see today. It’s hard to explain since life isn’t like it was for me when I was young. I send the message and think I’m finished when I see glowing eyes in the corner of my room. They are higher than a cat should be and there’s nothing in the corner of my room for a cat to be standing on. The corner is dark, darker than normal. Behind me, Wayland wakes and stares at the corner, but he doesn’t meow or puff out. He just stares like I do.

It’s a rare occurrence for me, a vision from the past. I’m not the type of sorcerer who experiences these often, but when I do, they're powerful. This one is no exception. It’s a vision that brings back painful memories, and I find myself unable to hold back the tears. My vision blurs, and I reluctantly tear my gaze away from the past, back to the present on my phone.

I’m selfless because I feel guilty. I sacrifice because I need to.

I frown at both messages and turn my head to look at Wayland's fluffy head beside mine. ”Stop talking to him,” I tell Wayland. Also, Max would be the one to talk to about my habits, I think to myself.

I look back at my phone and hover my fingers over the screen. I sigh. Warmish, I guess… Like roasting marshmallows warm. So, not very warm. I send the over-explanation and drop my phone on my chest, staring at the ceiling. I hate that I like him.

Hmm, and you don’t think I am? I question him. I hope I’m not coming off as abrasive. It really is just my incessant need to ask questions and learn about things. I guess I want to know if I gave off a vibe that stated I needed to be looked after. Did Nic think he needed to save me or look after me? I was a three-hundred-year-old sorcerer. If anyone was self-sufficient, here it was me.
