Chapter 35: a hotel is not a home

The night before the Blue Moon is a strange one. Anticipation clings to Kai like a second lay of skin, and he feels more or less at peace. Arturo’s absence sticks out like a sore thumb on the heat-warded roof of the Hotel, but he keeps his focus on the moment. Some time soon, they’re all gonna be together again, and it’s gonna be amazing. But for now, he’s content to enjoy his rooftop magic party with all his weirdo friends from this neck of the woods.

“Look at that, babe,” Wilma snorts, a cup of moon punch in hand as she happily approaches him. With a great big kiss to his lips, she then snuggles into his side, sighing happily as she droops into his embrace. “Right back where we started, huh?”

Kai just rolls his eyes before dryly adding, “Yeah and maybe this time we can try not to almost kill each other”.
