Kat POV

You can learn so much from watching people, watching them walk through the streets, the pocket that they keep their phone in, their wallet etc. You can also see an old face walking towards you.

'Well, well, well, how are you Katie?' Jamie came and sat next to me as if he was invited to. I took a sip of my drink. 'Come on Katie, don't be like that, you know you cost me a lot of money when you disappeared, the deal fell through and we can't touch hale industries'

'You're telling me this because…?'

'Word on the street is that you're a magician' he whispers

'Your point is…?'

'The magicians have been dying to have you in their crew for years, why the sudden change of heart?'

'You. Hale.' I said bluntly 'you both ruined me'

'Katie-'

'Save it jamie' I snapped, I got up and started to walk away, but someone caught my wrist and spun me around

'Katie listen to me-'

'Why should I? You left when I needed you the most, you came back when my life was finally good and you ruined it again, why should I listen to you?' Jamie sighed and let go of my wrist.

'Because I wanted to be the person to tell you' he muttered

'Tell me what?', he gave me a sim pathetic smile and produced a little piece of paper, he handed it to me,

'I'm sorry' he said. I have him a questioning look before I opened the envelope:

You are invited to the nuptials of W. V and Sophia Abbewell.

I didn't read the rest of it. My hands shook as I read the first line over and over again.

'Katie, I'm sorry'

'How'd you get invited?' I asked, he bit his lip.

'Your dad gave it to me...he knew where you were and wanted me to find you' I rolled my eyes and shoved the piece of paper back at him, I began to walk away.

'Why should I care? He's moved on, good for him'

'Katie' He looked at me with piercing eyes, looking into my soul, I had to look away. '

'WHAT JAMIE? WHY SHOULD I FUCKING LISTEN TO WHATEVER BULLSHIT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH'

'Katie-'

'GO FUCK OFF BACK TO WHATEVER HOLE YOU CAME FR-' My sentence was cut off by Jamie smacking his lips onto mine. At first I was shocked and wanted to pull away, but part of me didn't want to; the part of me that lost Jamie all those years ago, the part of me that had butterfies when I saw him at the hotel only 6 months ago. I didn't let go. I melted into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer, Jamie responded by locking my in place by having his arms wrapped around my waist. I felt safe, I felt secure. I felt loved. When we pulled apart We stood in each others arms staring into each others eyes, not saying anything.

'Katie…'

'Don't say it. Please' I begged

'I need to tell you why your father sent me to find you'

'Why?'

'Sophia Abbewell is a con artist' His tone was harsh, his eyes became cloudy. 'She's one of the best in the world'

'How do you know that?' I asked. He shifted his eyes away from me. 'She tricked you?' I asked. My voice catching in my throat. If she tricked Jamie, she must be good.

'She didn't trick me Katie' He said soothing.

'Then how do you know her?' My tone became harder as fear trickled into my mind, hoping it isn't what I think it is.

'She's my ex' Fuck. It is what I thought it was.
