Chapter 15 : Temporary High

~VANNIE~

The first thing that caught her attention when she came into the apothecary was a man lounging on one of the only two seats the place had. He sat there, the black-haired cocky bastard, looking like he owned the place. She looked into the soulful brown eyes that were as false as Zara's babyface.

Eyes she'd come in close to forcing back into their sockets. . .

She grinned in amusement. "Do they know that they're halfway across the Realms, looking for a sorcerer that's right here?"

The Sorcerer grinned back hesitantly, not hiding his surprise at her reception, but eager to play along. She wondered if he was here to abduct her again. But surely, that couldn't be the case? She'd made quite an impact at their first meeting, after all.

"No, they don't," he replied. "What can I say? I'm a man of many talents."

"Including teleportation? Are you some sort of alien wizard?"

His grin widened. "Only the best kind."
