Smiling to myself, I carried Madeline from the dance floor. Robin followed with his depleted paramour. Half-finished drinks were placed before them, setting up the scene of two passed out party girls, and permitted us more than enough time to make our escape. As we strolled out of the establishment, I wrestled with the temptation to check the newspapers for what would transpire when their bodies were discovered. I chased that thought aside quickly, though, and focused on my brother instead.
He wore the same look of satisfaction upon his countenance, his eyes still ablaze. Neither of us spoke for a while, until I glanced at him once more and broke the pregnant silence between us. “Did you have fun?” I asked.
He scoffed. “I still don’t know about you and your little games with the mortals.” Robin shook his head and sighed. “I swear, Flynn, one of these days they will become wise to you and get the better of you.”
“Not bloody likely.” I lit another cigarette, and then slid the pack into my jacket pocket. My gaze returned to Robin’s when the expression on his face failed to match his words. It was written for the entire world to see and I spoke it as such. “Come now, Robin,” I said. “Tell me you did not enjoy a little Halloween fun.”
The telling grin resurfaced on his face, the final nail being hammered in the coffin. “I could tell you that,” he said when the grin blossomed full bloom into a smile. “But then, I would be lying.”
