Leanbow saw his son—Bowen—or Nick, as most of the world knew the young wizard, moping in his room.
"Hey, can I come in, son?" Leanbow asked the young wizard.
Nick nodded. Then he asked, "Dad, how did you know?"
Leanbow raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did I know what?"
"Dad, how did you know that you loved Mom?" Nick asked.
Leanbow frowned. "I don't know. I just knew I had to spend the rest of my life with her," he said thoughtfully. "Why?"
Nick grimaced and said, "There's this girl and I really like her..."
"Ah, girl trouble," Leanbow murmured, as he slowly sat on the floor.
Nick nodded and Leanbow asked, "Is it Madison?"
Nick nodded and then asked, "How did you know?"
Leanbow smiled and said, "I think everyone knows that at least one of you has a crush on the other—relax, I won't tell. Your mother and I could both tell you liked Madison."
Nick grinned and, joining his father on the floor, asked, "What should I do?"
Leanbow shrugged but said, "Trust your heart."
Nick raised his eyebrows and Leanbow continued, "That's my father told me when I fell in love with your mother."
Nick grinned and Leanbow added, "Please just don't think it's a good idea to camp outside the girl's house until she comes home and decides to talk to you or her parents make her talk to you to get off their property. It won't end well. But be persisent. It will pay off."
Nick looked at his father, who said, "Let's just say your mother's parents didn't like me too much for that."
Then Nick added, "But if I go out with Maddie, Vida will kill me!"
Leanbow groaned and said, "Bowen, look. Niella threatened me—yes, your aunt was protective of your mother—but if you let your fear of V killing you, you'll never know if Maddie feels the same way."
Nick nodded and the two men got up. Nick turned to go, but then turned around and hugged his father. "Thanks, Dad," he smiled.
He ran off and, his mother, Udonna, asked, "Where are you off to in such a rush, Bowen?"
Nick answered, "I have to talk to Madison."
Udonna smiled and the next day, everyone learned that the red and blue mystics were dating.
