The pack of cigarettes and lighter are waiting on the cafe table. This is a smoker's escape in a city that is attempting to make it illegal.  She knows why she's waiting in New York City. Los Angeles's heat is oppressive and, somehow, this city feels more like a neutral ground. So she picks up her phone and calls Bobby's cell phone.

See angry Mab.

Angry Mab is angry.

And human. Angry Mab was smote.

Poke angry Mab with sticks.

But angry Mab will be faerie in 24 hours and counting...

She had no idea what they were doing and that rather threw a wrench into her habit of dressing to the event's particular need. It came down to finding something that would fit several purposes. Red lace below everything else. Not her sexiest pair, but if they played by the rules he'd not see them anyway. Black slacks that flowed elegantly down, ( Read more... )

She didn't pace. She felt like it. She felt like a lot of things but she didn't feel like going with her husband to get him looked after. She tried to keep things together. Really did. Made it through the seizures and the leaving and the threat of divorce. But then Annika fled and she found her absolute brick wall. Ada should have been dealt with a ( Read more... )

Mab's been keeping the babies to herself for the most part, because she's terrible. But I'm smacking her and making her be social with them. If your muse would like to meet the babies respond to this post. Everyone gets their own custom meet and greet. The excuse right now being that Bobby's a bit mia and mab's needing to keep an eye on them fairly ( Read more... )

(Today, ie the day after this)

She waited until he was feeling better, but the truth was there was only so long she could sit through this. The seizures seemed to be coming closer together. And if they weren't, it felt enough like it to matter. There was no good in letting it get worse and continue on in an increasingly more damaged situation. She ( Read more... )

He should have known better, really. Wise men don't talk about a faerie where her name has been used. Wise men don't talk about the boss's spouse. They her, she hears. And then it comes back to him in a painful way. She might have been patient in her waiting, but this time there was no patience to be had. He'd been given a long leash and did not ( Read more... )

Deep red petals float through the air lazily, one at a time. He loves her. He loves her not. A child's game with some truth hidden in it. With the right flower plucked at the proper time with the proper hand. He loves her. He loves her not. She's playing with herself and with abilities that have been coming and going in waves. There's something ( Read more... )

After the arrival of the unwanted reminder, there was no doubt in her mind that she and Bobby needed to talk. Things were said and they were still on rocky enough ground together that she wanted to make sure he knew she was still with him. And to remind him that one person's opinions were not his definition. So she set out to find him, beginning ( Read more... )

What's swallowing a little more pride? She wants her husband home for all that it's been another pointless disaster. So she picks up the phone and calls, unsure of whether or not he'll pick up.
