June was distracted.
It had been a week since she last heard from Wilson. She had gone over all the things he had said so many times it felt like her head was stuffed with straw.
What was going on in the Fae world? Would it be possible to find where they were hiding out? What could possibly be so scary that they were thinking about leaving Riverview. Not that anyone but she would notice..... Why had he even shown himself to her? Oh wait he hadn't...hmmm....
On the night of the next full moon she had found a shimmering bottle on her desk with a tiny note;
"For energy and courage,
Love, Wilson"
Energy and courage? Did he say love??
On top of all her other worries she now chewed over his note.
Was it just a standard, run of the mill closing to the note? Maybe he always ends a letter letter with 'love'. Hmmmm
The thought of him loving her made her insides squirm. And not in a bad way.
"Well, I'm not going to get any sleep tonight anyway. Bottoms up!"
June felt WOW, just WOW. She could run a marathon without effort!
"Where can I get more of this!"
June had not been telling her mom what she had learned from Wil. She didn't think she'd believe her and didn't want to worry her. Even though she had no clue what was going on, it seemed Tina was feeling the weirdness of the full moon too. She stayed up MUCH later than usual and instead of her normal painting and paperwork, she played her guitar. Something she hadn't done in years.
June tried to distract herself and give her energy an outlet and worked on her widgets. She was SO close to a major break through! She was no genius, but with that potion flowing through her she felt invincible.
"History and time travel, here I come!"
Who knows if throwing herself into her work was what Wilson planned to happen when he left that bottle on her desk, but it definitely kept June inside and busy when a gruesome visitor took interest with the Solo house.
