Reese had put off going back to see Miles. She knew what she needed to tell him, but she was frightened of what might happen once it was out of her and between them. It wasn't fair to have waited though. It wasn't fair to Miles, because he was one of her most precious people, and it wasn't fair to Kiss, because her little baby girl had wanted to ( Read more... )

Soon this will be a Miles scene.

It had been a long day. They’d spent hours at the Ministry, giving statements and handing over Anoush to her sister. Miles knew it had to be draining for Reese.

Much as he hated it, he’d had to wait before attempting to contact Anthony Goldstein. He’d needed to ensure the stage was set to pay the man without a paper trail and set up a time where Kiss would not be with him to meet with the murderer. There was no way he was letting that man anywhere near Reese’s little girl. It was bad enough he needed to ( Read more... )

Pansy still couldn't believe Harry had actually told her - that he'd actually known who had Miss Reese Ashley. Harry Potter had been a long shot. The last person she could think of to possibly pry any information from. She hadn't really expected him to know anything, let alone tell her. Pansy carried herself and spoke as if she expected answers ( Read more... )
