to her bed.  A fact she sincerely regretted.
    “Hello, Max,” she said, trying to sound polite but distant,
so she didn’t encourage him to linger.
    Stifling an inward groan as he sat down in the seat across
from her, she steeled herself for whatever he was going to say.  It was her party,
and she wouldn’t let him get her down.
    “I’ve decided to forgive you, Jen-Jen,” he said.
    She blinked, sure that she had misheard him.  “Excuse me?”
    A half-smile touched his thin lips.  “I said that I’m going
to forgive you for walking away from me.  I’m ready to get married and I’ve
decided to settle for you.”
    Jenna’s mouth dropped open.  Was he serious?  Did he just
try to pass an insult off as a compliment?
    She stood from her chair to stare straight down at him. 
“Let’s be clear, Maximus, you horn-toed woll-dragon, I wouldn’t spit on you if
you were on fire, let alone soil my bed by allowing you back in it.  I have
nothing to apologize for; you had sex with two she-fairies while I was on
vacation with my family.  I will never, never be with you, so go take
the short road to Hades.”
    His light blue eyes widened in surprise.  She cocked her arm
back and threw a punch at his perfect jaw, connecting and sending him reeling
backwards in the chair.  He crashed to the floor with a loud thud that brought
the party to an abrupt halt.
    Kari rushed over, looked between Jenna and Maximus as he
struggled to get up from the floor, and shouted, “Let’s hear it for the
birthday girl!”  The crowd erupted in cheers and then jeered Maximus when he
pushed his way through the fairies to leave.  He spun back to glare at Jenna,
leveling a threat.  “You’ll be sorry, you bitch.  I’ll make you pay.”
    “Go fuck yourself, you slippery eel,” Kari crowed, and Jenna
laughed, hugging her friend as Maximus disappeared out the door.  The music
began again and Kari looked down at Jenna with a smile.  “I’m glad you slugged
him, Jen.  You deserve so much better.”
    “I’ll get it, too.”  Jenna nodded.
    “I hope your truemate is worthy of you,” Kari said, and then
pulled Jenna back into the depths of the crowd where they continued to dance
until the night began to wear away and dawn threatened.  The crowd had thinned
considerably by the time Jenna and Kari stepped out onto the sidewalk where the
carriage was waiting to take them home.
    “I have a gift for you,” Kari said.
    “You’ve already given me so much tonight, Kari.  Your
friendship is present enough.”  Jenna protested.
    “Nonsense.  What’s the fun of having money if you can’t
spend it on the people you love?  I had this made for you, in honor of the new
life that you’ll start today.”
    Kari pulled a chain from her clutch.  A pendant hung from
the delicate gold chain.  Jenna lifted it in her hand and examined it.  It was
a winged fairy standing next to a wolf, whose muzzle was lifted upwards as if
it were singing to the moon.  The detail was so amazing that it seemed almost
real.
    “I love it, thank you so much,” Jenna said sincerely, as
tears pricked at her eyes.
    A loud roaring sound burst around them, and Jenna and Kari
covered their ears.  Jenna recognized the sound as an engine from the Mortal
Realm.  They were forbidden in the glen because they caused pollution.  A huge
metal vehicle slammed into the back of the carriage, sending the horses into a
terrified gallop.  Men jumped from the open doors of the vehicle, wearing all
black and holding weapons.
    Maximus came into view and stood with the men, who pointed
their weapons towards the terrified fairies and told them to freeze or risk
getting killed.  Jenna’s heart pounded in her chest as she saw the evil look in
Max’s eyes.
    “That one, the plain one with the silver in her hair.  She
can unlock anything.”  Max said.
    “What are you doing, Max?”  Kari yelled, lifting her hands
and slapping them together as she spoke a few words and the
