"What are you doing?" she squeaked as Jacks released her waist and swished the brush across the sign, adding two letters right before the word happily.
"There," he said smugly, "it's fixed now."
Evangeline scowled, as did the little blue dragon who'd been perched happily on the sign. The greeting on the sign, still swinging from Jacks's handiwork, now read:
Ξ€ΞE HOLLOW
Inn for Travelers, Adventurers,
and Those Searching for UNHappily Ever After
"No one will come if it says that," Evangeline said.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Jacks carelessly dropped the brush back in the bucket. "People will still come. They'll just be a little cursed if they dare to stay here."
He showed off a dimple as his smile returned. Clearly he liked the idea of cursing their guests. Although Evangeline imagined what Jacks really enjoyed was tormenting her.
She had to admit, she actually liked it when he teased and tormented her. She had once told Jacks that she would gladly take an uneventful happily ever after, but truthfully, she would much rather have this life with Jacks, which would never be uneventful.
