“I didn’t see a hotel on my way into town. I don’t suppose there’s a Holiday Inn one street over, that I just didn’t see?” she asked.
Bael scoffed and Zed glared at him, then ratcheted up his smile a few degrees before saying, “Like I said, we’ve got a real nice rental place for you. It’s got a lot of…charm.”
Jillian found his pause before the word ‘charm’ to be highly suspicious. “Okay, I guess working out of a house will be more pleasant than working out of a hotel. Can you give me directions?”
Zed was half-way to a nod when he said, “Yes, but I can’t help you get there right now. My maman’s expecting me at her place to fix her freezer. I keep tellin’ her that she’s overwhelming the twice-cursed thing, stuffin’ two whole deer carcasses in there. But then she glares at me and reminds me winter’s always around the corner and we need to think about puttin’ on hibernation weight. And then, I shut up because there’s nothin’ scarier than a Berend woman when she thinks you’re not listenin.”
Jillian tilted her head and stared at him. “It’s May.”
Zed shrugged. “Winter’s always just around the corner to Maman. But the Sheriff here can lead the way to your place. He’s one of your nearest neighbors.”
Jillian shook her head. “I don’t want to be a bother. If you just give me directions, I’m sure I can find it.”
Zed snorted. “Not likely. The roads ‘round here twist and turn and only half them have the right signs, because the fair folk think it’s funny to switch ‘em around. I can only find my place because I’ve lived here my whole life. But the Sheriff will be happy to give ya the full police escort, won’t ya?”
Bael only glared at Zed.
“Other duties as assigned, Bael,” Zed reminded him.
Bael exhaled deeply and for a second, Jillian swore she could see smoke rings billowing out of his nostrils. “Follow my car.”
