"Magic," Jesse repeated. Benji had been singing I Got The Magic just before Jesse found himself out here in the cold and snow. Benji performed little magic tricks all the time. But it was just sleight of hand. It was all in tricking the mind. it wasn't real. The song certainly wasn't anything more than words to a beat and tune.
But something had definitely happened. Jesse drew a breath and set his focus on this young woman in front of him. "You know magic's not real, right?" He'd never say that to Benji, it would hurt his feelings, and Jesse had known from the moment they met that hurting Benji's feelings was not something he wanted to do. Ever. The magic Benji did was very real, it just wasn't actually magic like in stories and stuff.
