Sympathetic Magic (The Witches of Cleopatra Hill book 4)
“with Lucas, she probably wouldn’t have accepted Rachel’s invitation to dinner in the first place. But when Margot had stopped by for a brief chat during her rounds, Rachel had made the offer, and at the time it sounded infinitely better than a Saturday night home alone with a book and a bowl of soup.
Now, though, Margot paused in the cramped dining room just outside the kitchen and wanted to flee. Because there was Lucas, leaning casually against the counter as if he’d done so a thousand ti...mes, watching as Rachel made Mexican rice. His gaze slid over to Margot, and she realized that, even though his posture looked relaxed, he was anything but. He hadn’t been expecting this, either.
“Hello, Lucas,” she managed to say, and the slow smile she’d already come to recognize spread across his lips.

Just the right note, friendly and unconcerned, as if the two of them meeting like this was something that happened every day.MoreLess
