Chapter Thirty-Two

Nizhoni walked up behind Sebastian and knelt down sometime later. Smiling, she hugged him, kissed him on the cheek and said, “Hey, babe, how’s it going?” She was referring to the two-thousand piece puzzle he and Jaxsen were putting together. The puzzle was of a fire breathing dragon flying around a burning castle, a mage standing in the forefront, arms outstretched as if conducting the mayhem from afar. It was a gift from Rose.

“Great. Though I think he’ll have the whole thing done before I get this little corner completed.” Jaxsen looked up and grinned.

Nizhoni smiled at him. “You boys hungry?”

Jaxsen looked up and flexed his biceps. “We’re not boys, we’re men. Here to eat you out of house and home!” He growled before stomping dramatically into the kitchen. Sebastian and Nizhoni watched him go with a chuckle.
