Finn’s lips met hers in a gentle kiss that turned Faye’s legs to jelly. She wanted it to go on and on, this kiss that she’d been wanting for so long. But Finn pulled back, his hands on her hips. She opened her eyes to see him looking down at her.
“What?”
He grinned, looking up at the sky. “Just waiting to see if the world is going to end.”
Faye laughed. “It hasn’t.”
“No,” he said softly. “It hasn’t.”
Finn scooped her up. He held her close as he kissed her again, and this kiss lasted for a long, long time.
EPILOGUE
Wind whistled through the mansion. Somewhere, a door banged on its hinges. No one had set foot here for days; they were too busy clearing up the mess at the school and the slush of old snow from the streets.
In the living room, ice crusted the mirror despite the warm sun outside. Cold gusts of air eddied against the reflective glass. Frost danced on the surface, creating its own rhythm.
The sound of running feet echoed from somewhere. Not human, this creature was on all fours. It was fast, stealthy. Inside the mirror, something trembled. In its depths, darkness grew. It flowered, suddenly, blooming against the inside of the glass as frost danced at its edges.
Eyes peered out of the deep gloom. It was a wolf, running, running. The creature leaped toward the glass, exploding out of the center of the mirror, shattering the ice that blocked its path. It entered the world in a flurry of cold, pausing to look around.
Its eyes were the bluest blue. It shook the frost from its fur once and then trotted out of the open door, disappearing into the dense forest outside.
