.“Do you know why I let you keep me cooped up in here for two whole weeks after you caught me in Miami?” she whispered.“I lost my job because I stayed put here with you.”McEvans held her in the dark for a very long time, finally somehow feeling completely at peace with himself – for the first time in awhile.Then he realized he had a problem on his hands.He couldn't let things go any farther between him and Brandy right now.“I need to end things with Rachel before we can figure things out between us.”Brandy nodded.It was too late to go home that night, so McEvans and Brandy slept in his office.He let her have the couch, while he slept on the floor.They both woke up before sunrise – with enough time to clean up and not look suspicious to the rest of the staff.What Brandy didn't have a chance to do, however, was to call Marianne and Jenny to tell them that they didn't need to come pick 'Shirley' up that morning.When they arrived, both she and McEvans met them out in the parking lot.Brandy made McEvans swear that he would not let on that he now knew she was a shifter.“Shirley will be staying a little while longer,” Brandy told them, “I'm really sorry that I didn't call you.She was injured last night in a bit of a scuffle, and we want to keep an eye on her.Marianne looked down at Brandy's freshly bandaged left ankle with concern.Jenny, however, was eyeballing McEvans.She seemed distracted.“What's that around your neck?” Jenny asked him.McEvans reached up and touched a small pouch that sat at the base of his neck, fixed in place with a rope necklace.Now that Brandy thought about it, she had noticed that he started wearing it a couple of weeks ago.“Who gave that to you?” Jenny pressed him.“My girlfriend did,” he said.“Do you know what that's for?” She was starting to cross-examine him now.“She said it's for good luck.”“Likemojo?”“Yeah, that's what she called it.”“It's not quite that,” Jenny said.“She put a love spell on you.Have you two been having trouble in your relationship lately?”“Jenny, really” Brandy said.“This is starting to get a little awkward.”While Brandy said this, however, she was starting to understand what Jenny was getting at with the love spell.It would explain McEvan's shift in moods and his recent headaches.When love spells are cast in order to save a relationship that's heading for a breakup – that means the person casting the spell is trying to challenge his or her partner's free will.The results are rarely positive.“What's your girlfriend's name?” Jenny asked.“Rachel,” McEvans said.“Rachel what?”“Rachel LaBelle.”Chapter 19“This isn't what I call love, Rachel!”McEvans was yelling now.After Jenny had tipped him off to the likelihood of the fact that Rachel had been working him magickally, he immediately went over to Rachel's place to confront her.The level of anger he felt over this was overwhelming – and he now doubted the validity of the whole relationship since Day One.“How could I ever trust you again after you pulled that on me!”he shouted.Rachel was crying.She didn't understand how her mother could always successfully work a man with Hoodoo, but she never could.It had worked for Rachel when it came to ensuring her career as a model, and it always helped with money in general.But when it came to romantic liaisons, Rachel simply didn't have the same magickal touch that her mother did when it came to controlling a man.“Please, Jake,” Rachel begged.“I only did it for US – we needed to get back to the way things were when we first met.And that – that – alligator was coming between us! You were obsessed with it – and with your job – past the point of what was reasonable!”Whatever it was she had done to him had made him feel sick and miserable and out of sorts for two weeks.It was creepy – and it was unfair.If McEvans was obsessed with Shirley – and, also Brandy – well that wasn't the result of manipulation.Whatever was between him and Brandy was genuine, albeit crazy.“I'm sorry, Rachel,” Jake said.“This hasn't been working for a long time now.You and I both know it.”After Jake left, Rachel called her mother.She was rarely sympathetic, but her mother always knew what to do.While Rachel consulted with her mother, Jenny was back in Escala plotting [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
