Well Met(99)

Onstage, the Dueling Kilts finished their set, and Dex lifted his chin in my direction. I’d already raised my hand in a wave when I caught Daniel doing an identical chin-raise in response. Ah. I turned the awkward half-wave into a too-casual check of my hair. Of course. Wench at every Faire. And Dex was done with both me and the Willow Creek Faire.

I shook off the sting of disappointment. There were only a few minutes left in this year’s Faire now, and I was going to wring every possible moment out of it. These weeks in the woods were so much more fun, so much more interesting, than my real life. After all, I lived in a small town. Not a lot changed in Willow Creek.

Yeah. Famous last words.
