down my spine.
    Ash slid his hand under my hair, his strong fingers closed over the nape of my neck, caressed the sensitive skin there.
    “ Kate?”
    I ’m many things. Half breed. Cursed. Witch. But a coward I’m not.
    “ Seven tomorrow night.”
    On the other hand, I may just be a complete idiot.

     
    5. Minor and Major Upheavals.
     
    I watched the taillights of Ash’s truck disappear around the corner. My lips still tingled. Along with several other body parts. Damn, that demon knew how to kiss.
    Licking my lips, I turned to head back up to my apartment. A flash of light caught my eye. Same apartment four doors down. I watched as the curtains shifted then went still.
    Interesting. Looked like I was going to get a chance to brush up on my Witch Detective skills again.
    Bright light cut through the dark to my other side. I turned to watch the headlights zoom down my street. As she slammed to a stop behind my yellow Mini, I could only be thankful she hadn’t come by broom.
    1. She ’d missed Ash by seconds and 2. The nosy new neighbor was a definite concern.
    An umbrella emerged from the silver Pr ius, snapped open to display a lovely leopard print, and rose elegantly into the dismal evening as my aunt got out.
    She tightened the belt on her grey metallic raincoat before closing the door. Aunt Tabs chose her car with as much care for the weather in I daho as I did. Screw that.
    She has front wheel drive too which makes driving a white knuckled adventure for about eight solid months out of the year. That plus a near constant stream of spells.
    Amazingly, I fit in better in our small town than my aunt. My jeans and t-shirts are standard fare in this part of West. My thick biker’s boots are less common than the cowboy boots, hiking boots and running shoes, but no one bats their eyes too hard.
    Aunt Tabs had on a pair of three inch leopard print heels  peeking out from under skinny jeans. The jeans were slate grey with a silvery metallic thread which caused them to sparkle even in the dimness of the evening. A fuchsia purse was slung over her shoulder.
    The skin along my neck tingled in alarm. “ You should lock your car.”
    Aunt Tabs paused on the sidewalk, frowned. Small towns have their goods and bads like everything else. One of the definite goods is the crime rate. Or lack there of.
    I brushed some water out of my eyes and nodded, “you should lock your car.”
    Something in my tone must have alerted her because she didn ’t argue. Aunt Tabitha walked back around the front of her Prius, opened the door and pulled out her keys. She beeped the lock.
    I did the same with my Mini.
    The one thing about being a secret minority, you get used to  keeping a low profile and trusting your instincts. Mine were suddenly screaming loud enough to be heard four counties over.
    The tap tap of her heels rang out as we walked up the sidewalk. My boots more or less squelched in the rain.
    A unt Tabs shook out her umbrella in the entry. Despite the rain her silky blonde hair was smooth and perfectly in place. I wrung out my curls. Little drops of water sprinkled the floor next to my aunt. I squeezed a surprisingly steady stream near my own feet. Guess I’d been too distracted to notice the rain was more than a drizzle.
    Before she could begin, I said, “ I have a new neighbor a few doors down. He appears to be suspiciously nosy.”
    “ Shit.” Aunt Tabs rarely curses, then again she had also survived the Salem Witch Trials. Like I’ve said: some things stay with a witch. Persecution is a big one.
    She pulled her wand out of her purse. “ Do you need me to work a spell?” Aunt Tabs is generally a neutral witch. She has her own life and she likes it. However, she is also a very protective aunt. Another reason I have kept her and Ash from meeting. Given her history with Demon Lords, I don’t think she’d blink at turning him into a small frog. Complete with warts.
    “ No. I’m good.” I waved at her to put her wand away.
