  Glori giggled and opened her eyes. "How could I break the curse? You need--"

  Her brain started working, jolted with dozens of images and sensations that hurtled through her memory like a freight train.

  Lance shouldn't have turned into a giant mouse in broad daylight, before the dark of the moon. Unless the curse was making a last gasp effort to hang onto him.

  It happened right after she kissed him.

  She kissed him the day the children worked their play magic, turning her into a Fae Princess.

  It took the kiss of a Fae Princess to break the curse.

  "The kids turned you into a princess?" Lance stared, confused when she explained her theory. "How could they do that?"

  "I'll explain later. Let's fix my spells, then we'll go home. My place or yours?" She fluttered her eyelashes at him, prompting a hoot of laughter.

  "Your place. I don't want to find out if the ghostly roundup is still around or they got sent onwards, until I absolutely have to know."

  "Okay. Then we'll go to my place and celebrate."

  "Forever." Lance gathered her into his arms and rolled onto his back, pulling her on top of him, and captured her mouth for one of those kisses that sucked all the thoughts out of her head.

  Glori laughed, sighing, and settled down to enjoy the ride. Just because they had eternity didn't mean they could waste a moment.

  She hoped Matilda was right, and all this laughing and playing and passion would put a Halfling bun in her oven. Glori wanted children. Lance's children. She owed her life and her sanity, and her love, to children.

  Anybody with any sense at all knows children have a magic of their own.
