“I haven’t decided yet. Indonesia looks promising, as does Chile.”
Active volcano spots. Go figure. I was especially relieved that she wouldn’t be on our plane.
“Be good, okay? Don’t make me hunt you down and chase you across the ocean. And stay away from married men – they’re nothing but trouble.”
Cleo grinned. “I like trouble. Too bad your Irix wasn’t interested in something long-term or I would have been tempted to steal him away – tempted enough to risk you drowning me.”
I cocked an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t care whether the guy was interested or not?”
She shrugged. “I’m tired of turning men into trees and plants. Rejection sucks. And no matter how satisfying my revenge is, it’s all a bit embarrassing to be running around after a man who doesn’t return your interest.” Cleo shot me a wicked glance. “I’m too old for that shit.”
I laughed at her modern speech, colored by her odd accent. “Yeah, me too.” I stood. “Safe travels, sister.”
“Safe travels. See you soon.”
I shivered, giving her a sharp look, but Cleo had returned her attention to the newspaper. Wandering back to Irix, I thought about the situation. An old goddess wandering the world unchecked. It made me uneasy, but who was I to say she had to go back to sleep for thousands of years?
Irix was playing a game on his phone while everyone at the gate stared at him, longing in every face. I’d forgotten how interesting plane rides were with him. No doubt many of these passengers would be joining the mile-high club before we touched down on the mainland.
Sitting, I looped my arm around his and leaned against his shoulder. “I’m glad you’re here.”
I was. Glad he hadn’t needed to dash back to Hel. Glad Cleo hadn’t dragged him off as some sort of love slave. Glad he found something in me worth sticking around for.
He put down his phone and rested his head on mine. “There’s nowhere I’d rather be but by your side, Amber. Nowhere.”
