Lavender glanced over her shoulder into the shop window when she saw Cormac approach. She knew Nicodemus was lurking inside, probably even watching her from within. They had to start the act now in case he was watching them.
“Hi,” she forced a big smile. “He’s in there. Probably watching us. So yes, we have to start the act now,” she nodded at him so he’d understand what to do now. She walked up closer to him to give him a hug after, then kissed his cheek. “Remember, you’re willing to give him your soul to be with me,” she said in a quiet voice.
