South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Coming back to Sacrosanct after yet another empty lead was frustrating. How many of these had he followed now? Too many to count. And each time he came back empty handed, no closer to finding Troy. His gut told him to come back here every single time though, as if drawing him back to Sacrosanct, as if trying to make him see the obvious. Troy had to be here, but where? Kit had traveled halfway across the world by now in his hunt for his missing brother, from New York to Greece, Japan to Kentucky. There was also that stint in California that always came back to mind, but mostly because of a certain red headed fae that never seemed far from his thoughts. All it took was one chance meeting at a book store in Sacrosanct of all places.

They talked and hung out most of the day, only reluctantly parting at sunset but he never wanted the day to end. He never thought he'd run into her again. After all, he'd already found out just how hard it could be to track down one fae in this city, so what were the chances? He certainly never expected to run into her in California; that's for sure. But they had and one thing led to another....before he knew it, they were exchanging numbers over breakfast the next morning and promising to meet up some time. It was supposed to be a no-strings-attached kind of thing. So why couldn't he stop thinking about her? He hadn't been in Sacrosanct more than a few days when he got the call and couldn't believe the familiar voice on the other end, the voice from his dreams almost every night.

Of course, he agreed to meet her. Why wouldn't he? If anything, there was almost a nervous energy in the pit of his stomach as he drove to the little coffee shop she suggested. He'd showered, his hair still damp as it curled and waved in every which direction but he kept running his hands through it, hoping in vain to tame it in some way before he walked in. Was he sweating already? He felt like his hands were sweating. He wiped them on his jeans before finally taking a deep breath and pushing open the door. It didn't take him long to find her. It was like his green eyes instantly magnetized to her. She was the only woman in the room he could see, the only one who mattered. His lips tugged into an easy smile as he walked over to the table and sat across from her. "Hey."

Okay, lame, but what should he say? Good to see you again? You look nice in clothes? Not that she didn't look good without them. Okay, that line of thought was going nowhere in his head. Nowhere good, anyway. Shaking his head of such thoughts, he cleared his throat and took a good look at her. She did look good. But then, Sam always looked good in his opinion. She was a fire in a dark forest, a sun in the night sky. She outshone everyone else in the room. It was just her nature. Luckily, the barista came over to save him from any further embarrassment (at least for the moment). He ordered a coffee and a bagel before turning his attention back to Sam. "So, how have you been?" Smooth, real smooth.
