Maeve’s brow twitched upwards at her brother, who often forgot that she wasn’t another one of his employees and attempted to boss her around. “Great,” she said, instead of defying him just to push his buttons. She locked up her display cases and packed up her personal belongings. “I’m starving.”
She had the suspicion that her brother was up to something when he pulled her chair out for her. She still wasn’t ready to bring it up, so she thanked him and sat down. When Owen excused himself to the restroom, Maeve turned slightly in her chair to scan the room.
It wasn’t difficult for Maeve to spot her, too. The rabbit she had seen Owen talking with just earlier in the convention hall. She was sitting alone at a table near near a window. Sunlight reflected off the black fur of her ears. She was very cute and would have been exactly Owen’s type when they had been in college.
Maeve tracked a waiter crossing the room and delivering a delightful chocolatey dessert and another cocktail to the rabbit. She looked surprised, but delighted nonetheless. Maeve wondered if it was her absent brother who had supplied the treats. Her mind drifted briefly to the bracelet Owen had purchased for her and how the delicate design would be better suited to a petite bunny.
“Nothing’s new,” she replied when he finally returned. She noted the way his eyes made subtle saccades just over the level of her head when he thought she might not notice. Was it the rabbit he was watching? “I think this is going to be my last convention, though.”
Behind her back, Piper was enjoying the unexpected delivery. Her mystery benefactor having guessed that she loved in gin in her drinks. Chocolate was always a safe choice but the airy mousse was heavenly. She wonders who could have sent it to her table. She’d spotted Mr. Hart and a pretty blonde when they entered the restaurant, but it couldn’t have possibly been him.
Piper was thankful no one was there to witness her turn a light shade of red as she reveled in the idea of having a secret admirer. Perhaps, one that was a handsome predator.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
