Chapter Ten
The dealer's room was jammed with people, as expected. As Mandi and Cade
circulated, he looked for WiccaWorks clients and took a few moments with each to
let them know he'd drop by the next day so they could restock from the products
he'd brought.
Mandi found a silver pendant on a chain that appealed to her at one of the
booths and bought it while Cade was talking to the booth owner. Their
conversation wrapped up about the same time as Mandi's purchase.
Cade stepped over to Mandi, lifted the pendant and chain from her hands, and
offered to put it on her. Lifting her hair, Mandi let him drape the chain and
fasten the clasp as she looked in the booth's mirror.
Her eyes met his as he brought the two ends of the chain together and
thumbed the clasp. When her eyes fell to the pendant, his didn't, nor did his
hands fall away from her shoulders immediately.
"It's kind of amazing," said Cade softly. "You can haul cars into orbit, but
you look and feel just like a showgirl."
One of Mandi's eyebrows went up.
"A showgirl?"
Grinning, Cade said, "That's what they call women of exemplary beauty who
strut around on stages in fancy costumes.
