Make Me A Match (The Matchmaker) - Plot & Excerpts
I moved across the street toward the coffee shop, practically oblivious to the early morning traffic. Although it had been hours since I’d killed the demon, hours since I’d last seen Owen, my hands still trembled. I’d never killed anyone…anything…whatever it was. Should I have felt nervous? Guilty? Grateful? Oddly, all I felt was numb. A car honked, startling me. Every noise was a threat, every shadow a potential enemy. My entire world had changed. Nothing felt safe anymore. Slowly, I glanced up and down the street, peering into the familiar faces of my neighbors. Who could I trust? Shaking off my unease, I pulled open the door of the coffee shop and breathed in the familiar aroma of pastries and coffee beans. This was reality. This was where I belonged, in this world of humans and nonmagic, in Michigan with Lizzie. Tony stood behind the counter, smiling at a customer. It was all so achingly familiar that my heart twisted painfully. What if it were true? What if I suddenly had the ability to match people?
