“Yes, but— It’s beautiful. I will give Kizzy a try.”
“It’s easy. Like fizzy or tizzy or dizzy. Should we see if they have to-go cups, so we can take more coffee with us for the drive?”
“Sounds like a plan.”
“Off to adventure,” she said. “Do you have an extra stake?”
His raised his eyebrow and waited for the punch line.
“I should probably practice my thrust and stab while we’re driving.”
“I’d expect nothing less from you. I’ll see what I have.”
Chapter 6 (#ulink_d9d99827-6b63-5e36-ab34-3b79f4a92883)
Bron tossed the broken tracking device into the garbage can outside the gas station. He’d forgotten to throw it at the truck stop, and twenty miles later Kisanthra—Kizzy—had him pull over to use the restroom, so it was a good thing he’d remembered it now.
An antiques store across the highway beckoned with red flags fluttering at the four corners of the old barn building. Kizzy had said she’d like to check it out. And he’d agreed. He didn’t mind sorting through antiques. It was a kick to recognize the things he’d once used in daily life. And they weren’t in a rush. Unfortunately, they had time to waste as he waited to see what might come after Kizzy.

He didn’t know how witch magic worked, but the fact it had led him to her meant it was so powerful that it probably could still function even after the crystal device had been broken.
Could he take her home and walk away? He didn’t think it was going to be that easy. And that wasn’t any kind of emotional thing. He just had no way of knowing she could be safe.
Her dead boyfriend had actually clutched her heart from Purgatory while she lay dead on the operating-room table. How bizarre was that? But he believed her. She’d had dreams. Had said the doctor had remarked on the weird scarring he’d noticed on her heart.
No doubt about it, Kisanthra Lewis owned the Purgatory Heart.
