Nora, in a way that Aden was starting to get accustomed to, ran out of the coffeeshop. He watched her until she was inside the building, away from his sight. His hand still tingled from touching hers.

The next day, Ranna wasn't there when Nora came in. Thorn had taken her place at the counter.
"Hey, Thorn," she said. "How's Loki?"
"As rambuctious as ever," he said with a sly grin. "Haven't been able to take her out in public for a month now."
"Where do you guys live?" Nora asked. She wouldn't be fit to go out in public, either, if she'd been kept in her tiny apartment for a month.
"A cabin out in the woods," he said, not noticing her expression of horror."Loki runs around all the time up there. All my hard work at civilizing her gone to waste," he joked.
"Wow, it must be amazing out there!"
"It is. Now, let's see, Ranna left a list of your regulars. Have a seat, and I'll get it right to you."
"Where is she, by the way?"
"I think she said something about a mission with some of her friends. Saving the world...something like that."
"Oh. I forget she's a superhero, sometimes," Nora said. "She'd better bring me back something cool."
