“This is Remy Beaumont, newest addition to our writing team—part intern, part advisor. He’s got a degree in magical monsters, so he’s gonna help keep your backstories straight, as well as bring in different species of guest stars.”

 

Ash managed enough courage to raise his gaze to Remy once again. He looked… God, better than he had months ago, which was terribly unfair. He had a longer hairstyle that better suited his face, and new glasses with large frames that made his eyes pop.

 

Remy waved and smiled at them. “Hello.”

 

Ash wanted to lunge across the table and kiss him. He looked away, surprised by the fierceness of the desire. His heart pounded.

 

“Remy, meet the lovely and hilarious Jasmine, the charming and beautiful Michael, and our shy and sweet Ash.”

 

“Nice to meet you,” Remy said to Jasmine and Michael, then turned to Ash and tilted his head, asking permission.

 

“We’ve already met.”
