Excerpt from Kindling Flames: Granting Wishes
“What’s your name?” the man asked. His voice
was pleasant and warm with a bit of an accent that Cathren could spend hours
listening to under other circumstances.
“Cathren,”
she informed him as she pulled on the smile she used for difficult customers.
“Cathren.”
The man repeated her name with a bit of a roll in the ‘r’. “Such a fitting
name.” His eyes twinkled with merriment before getting serious. “Well, Cathren,
my name is Patrick, and I don’t know how you’ve done it, but you caught me. Now
what do you want?” Patrick leaned his elbow on the counter. The corner of his
mouth turned up in amusement.
“What?”
Cathren asked, confused.
Patrick
pushed the sleeve of his sweater up and showed her his forearm. A bloody
fingerprint stained his skin. “What do you want?” he asked again, holding the
toned arm out for her to see.
“I
am so sorry.” Cathren gasped as she pulled out some paper towels from under the
counter. Squirting some hand sanitizer on them, she wiped her blood off his
arm. The blood had perfectly covered a small tattoo of a shamrock. It was an
odd place to put the clover—seeing as he had no other tattoos—and she couldn’t
have hit it more exactly if she tried.
“It’s
fine, lass.” The man pushed her worrying hands away and glanced at the tattoo
on his arm. “Looks like you get three.” He looked back up at her. “Now, what do
you want?”
Cathren
just shook her head, not understanding him. “What do you mean?”
Patrick
let out a resigned breath. “Traditionally, when you catch a leprechaun, they
have to barter for their release.” A wry smirk slipped across his face. “And
since I couldn’t stop the magic from settling, it looks like I’m going to be
held to that tradition. It’s just turned into your lucky day. You get three wishes.
Now, what do you want?”
