You ready for this?" Shar asked.
"Yeah," Tamani said, a grin spreading across his face, "Oh, yeah.
All of the heartache, the anger, the fear that this was as good as it was ever going to get, was worth it. Here, he could see her eyes and bask in her smiles-even when she wasn't smiling for him. Every day was worth the pain.
Aprilynne PikeI would leave everything and join the World Tree tomorrow if she died, " Tamani said.
"I know, " Shar whispered through the darkness.
How do you... we... you know, faeries pollinate?"
"The male produces pollen on his hands and when two faeries decide to pollinate, the male reaches into the female's blossom and lets the pollen mix. It's a somewhat delicate process."
"Doesn't sound very romantic."
"There's nothing romantic about it at all." Tamani replied, a confident smile spreading across his face. "That's what sex is for."
"You still...?" She let the question hang.
"Sure."
"But faeries don't get pregnant?"
"Never." Tamani winked. "Pollination is for reproduction- sex is just for fun."
- Laurel and Tamani
Oh my gosh, is that an iPhone?!" Laurel asked, her voice unconsciously rising in pitch and volume.
Tamani looked up at her, his expression blank."Yeah?"
"He has an iPhone," Laurel said to David. "My faerie sentry who generally lives without running water has an iPhone. That's. Just. Great. Everyone in the whole world has a cell phone except me. That's awesome.
Guess I’ve been reading too much fantasy.
Aprilynne PikeLaurel rolled her eyes. “Now there‟s something I really wanted to know ” she said sarcastically.
“Ah come on—everyone wonders.”
“Do not ”
“Sure. I‟ve always wondered what kind of a kisser David is.”
“Um that‟s one of those questions you‟re not supposed to ask.”
Chelsea laughed. “I didn‟t ask. I just said I‟ve always wondered.”
“That‟s asking.”
“Is not.” She leaned back against her headboard. “‟Course you could tell me anyway.”
“Chelsea ”
“What I told you.”
“I didn‟t ask.”
“Technicality.”
“I‟m not telling.”
“That‟s code for he sucks.”
“He does not suck.”
“Aha ”
Laurel sighed. “You are so weird.”
“Yeah ” Chelsea said with a grin tossing her springy curls. “But you love me.”
Laurel laughed. “Yes I do.” She leaned over and tipped her head onto Chelsea‟s shoulder. “And I‟m glad you‟re happy.
Are you looking for something real in this world of illusions? Call me. Casual Flings need not apply. I am looking for Love.
Aprilynne PikeYou could be David's friend too". She glanced at Tamani when he said nothing. He was frowning. "The two of you really have a lot in common, and we're all in this together".
He shook his head. "It wouldn't work".
"Why not? He's a nice guy. And it would do you good to have some human friends", she said hinting at what she suspected was the root of the problem.
"It's not that", Tamani said, gesturing vaguely with one hand.
"Then why?" Laurel asked, exasperated.
"I just don't want to cosy up to the guy whose girl I have every intention of stealing

Then he was there, turned half toward her with a guarded expression etched across his face. She didn't stop or even slow her step. When she reached him, she grabbed the front of his shirt in both fists, pulling him to her, pushing her mouth up into his. Heat swirled through her as she pulled his face even closer, tighter. His arms wound around her and their bodies melded with a rightness she didn't bother to question. Her lips filled with the sweetness of his mouth and Tamani held her against him as if he could somehow pull her inside him, make her part of him.
And for a moment, she did feel like a part of him. As if their kiss bridged the gap between the two worlds, even if only for that one brief, sparkling moment.
A sigh that held the weight of years shuddered out of Tamani as their faces drew apart. "Thank you," Tamani whispered, almost too quiet to be heard.
