Calliope's POV
` The ride back to the palace was quiet. Nick just stroked my arms, sending sparks of electricity through my body. Tonight was the best night of my life. The music store was my favorite, even if the owner made me nervous. He knew too much about me, and that frightened me. I felt safe with Nick, but too many people knowing that I am a fairy put me in danger.
"What are you thinking about, Baby?" His deep voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"I was thinking about how wonderful tonight was," I replied with a half-truth.
He sighed and squeezed my hand. "Are you still worried about the music store owner?"
"A little. I mean, he didn't seem dangerous. But what if he accidentally tells someone who is?"
He draped his arm over my shoulders and kissed the top of my head.
