“That’s right,” Priya said, then saw Cally’s expression. “Don’t worry, it’s the same one she found Stefan on.”
“That makes me feel so much better,” Cally said dryly.
“Though she did mention that Stefan has been very quiet lately,” Priya continued, oblivious.
“Good.” Maybe that sleazy bastard had actually taken her warning seriously.
“How did your date go with him? I never asked you.”
“It didn’t work out.”
“Oh, such a shame.”
“How about you?” Eve asked. “Just the one date so far?”
“Two,” Priya replied brightly. “And we’re going out again.” She hesitated, her voice quieting. “He’s taking me to a club.”
“What kind of club?” Eve asked.
“A nightclub.” Priya shifted in her seat. “I don’t really dance.”
“A nightclub, huh?” Cally said, frowning.A corridor stretching on and on, an ornate door held closed with a chain, a presence emanating.“Where is this nightclub?”
“Theatre District. There’re several around there, but this one’s supposed to be nice.”
“Cool. When are you going?”
“Tomorrow night,” Priya blurted out, like she’d been dying to tell them but was too nervous to.
“Oh, how convenient,” Cally said lightly. “Eve and I were thinking of going to a nightclub tomorrow.”
“What?” Eve glanced up, her hand frozen midway to scratching her nose.
“Yes,” Cally added firmly, giving her a pointed look. “We were talking aboutflying throughone to see what it was like,remember?”
“Huh?” Her eyes widened. “Oh. Oh yes, of course. Uh, double date?”
“What a great idea!” Cally jumped on it. “Let’s all go together. Think Michael would mind?”
“Not at all. That would be lovely.” Priya looked between them, surprise and pleasure in her eyes. “I didn’t know you guys were dating.”
“Oh, we’re not dating,” Eve said breezily. “It’s more about the casual sex for us.”
Cally choked on her latte, snatching a napkin to dab at the spill on her blouse. She glared at Eve, who gazed innocently back.
“Oh, cool,” Priya said, looking between them in surprise. “Well, I should get back. We don’t get long breaks. Tomorrow night?”
“Great,” Eve said. “We’ll see you there. Text us the location and time?”
“Will do!”
They sat in silence as Priya walked off. Then Eve leaned forward. “Why did we just agree to go clubbing with Priya and her blonde physical specimen of no personality worth mentioning?”
“To be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely sure,” Cally admitted with a frown. “But that was aforesightspell, right? And the whole nightclub thing… it’s too much of a coincidence.”
“Your vision was of that nightclub?”
“My vision was ofanightclub. No idea which one, but I’ll recognize it as soon as I see it.”Or feel the evil, emanating presence.“I think we should be there with Priya. Just in case. If it’s not the same club, we don’t have to stay long.”
