A/N Thanks to all my reviewers!
Hunter's POV:-
I rushed into the house and found Sky who was displaying candles in the circle room. "How was Morgan?" She asked in her crisp accent without looking up.
She didn't look at me as I answered. "What makes you think I was at Morgan's?" She turned slowly and sighed.
"Right. Where do I begin? One- you have that stupid grin on your face that you only put on when you've seen her. Two- Your hair is ruffled. You only do that when you're with her. Three..." She grinned when she saw me gaping at her. "Get the idea?" I nodded faintly and left the room feeling embarrassed.
She followed me and cocked her head to one side. "So, how is she?"
"Upset," I said struggling for words. "Angry, guilty, incredibly beautiful." I grinned sheepishly and she laughed. "Is everything ready for the circle?"
"Nearly." I nodded and put the kettle on. My hands shook as I poured out two cups and handed one to Sky. She set her own down on the table and wrapped her arms around me. "Don't worry," she said softly. I thanked her silently and cooled my tea.
The phone rang and I picked it up feeling breathless. "Morgan." She laughed nervously. "Are you okay?"
"Not really," she admitted truthfully. "I'm a bit shaken up." I smiled sadly, drinking up the sound of her voice. I could feel Sky watching with interest and I deliberately shut down my senses.
"Want me to come over again?" She shook me off saying she would go to Practical Magick. "Okay," I said finally. "See you at the circle." I lowered the phone into its cradle and Sky raised her eyebrows. "What?" I asked defensively, but I couldn't help grinning. She threw me a pretend exasperated look and returned to her preparations.
I threw on my coat and headed to the store. I had been making my room more personal but I wanted some candles to finish it off. While I was there, I bought two small silver picture frames with a Celtic design and pentacle intertwined around them. The pentacle was set with stones to represent the elements and I had felt an instant connection with them.
As I was leaving, I bumped into Robbie. "Got Morganita's present yet?" He asked cheekily.
"Of course." I replied. We chatted for a few minutes and then parted. I passed his red beetle on the way to my car and I waved at Bree who was sitting in the passenger's seat, looking at her watch.
I slipped into my car and took out my phone. "Hello. This is Hunter Niall." Is my order ready yet?" I waited patiently as the clerk checked on her computer. "That's great. I'll be over soon to pick it up. Thank you." I rung off and started the engine.
