The blush was adorable. “There is no need to be crude, Mr. Murray.”
Gael winked, and Edie snorted, but it only made Archie perfect his blank mask. Ice was clinging to his voice, and he focused on Gael. “I’m sorry, Mr. Murray, but is your brain melting or not? I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you.”
Cold filled his gut. Archie was right. What the fuck was he doing sitting around here? “I need to find at least two of my coven brothers and sisters this night, the rest can wait until tomorrow. The more, the better of course, but two is the absolute minimum.”
“Good luck.” Archie turned, and this time he didn’t linger, he slipped in behind a bookshelf and was out of Gael’s sight.
“I need him.” Gael’s voice broke as he pleadingly turned to Edie.
